Just run 'tasksel' and select "C and C++" in the Development section and
you're set.

glibc (aka libc6) is the C library - yes. You need to install at least
libc6-dev (and a C compiler of course) for compiling C programs.
There are a lot of other libraries which serve different purposes - just
pick what you need. All the development packages (those providing header
files and static libraries) end in "-dev" ('dpkg -l \*-dev' will list
all those packages).
