Post the error message from trying to compile something like:

#include <stdio.h>

int main( int argc, char *argv[] ){
  printf("Hello, world!\n");
}

My guess is that you need to install libc6-*-dev, where the * depends on
what version of libc6 you have available.  Without an error message it's
hard to debug.
