Manoj, Here are the error messages that are referenced to stdlib.h:

The output from the dpkg -l command is as follows: Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge | Status=Not/Installed/Config-files/Unpacked/Failed-config/Half-installed |/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name Version Description +++-===============-==============-============================================ ii libc5 5.4.33-3 The Linux C library version 5 (run-time libr ii libc6 2.0.4-1 The GNU C library version 2 (run-time files) ii gcc 2.7.2.1-8 The GNU C compiler (ELF version). ii libc5-dev 5.4.33-3 The Linux C library version 5 (development f ii binutils 2.8.1-2 The GNU assembler, linker and binary utiliti ii make 3.75-6 The GNU version of the "make" utility. ii bin86 0.4-3 Assembler and loader for kernel compilation. ii gawk 3.0.2-1 GNU awk, a pattern scanning and processing l ii gzip 1.2.4-15 The GNU compression utility. ii shellutils 1.16-5 The GNU shell programming utilities. ii grep 2.0-12 GNU grep, egrep and fgrep. ii cpp 2.7.2.2-7 The GNU C preprocessor.
