Hi, I am wondering if there is any way to know which version of glibc
library I have installed on my computer. I have redhat9. Is there
any general way to know which package(or version of ) somebody
installed, and where those files are installed? Sometimes I want to
uninstall those softwares that I previously installed, but don't know
which ones I can delete. I know that most of the binary files are
installed in usr/bin or usr/local/bin or usr/sbin. But I don't know
where the associated libraries are all installed for that software. By
the way, I normaly don't use rpm package, so I don't use " rpm -e "
command.
Thank you very much, and have a good day.

If you installed Redhat 9, I would guess the version of glibc that was
installed by default was intalled using an rpm. What does the following
command give?
$> rpm -qi glibc

If my guess is correct, then you will see the version and release
information of the glibc installed on your computer along with a whole
lot of other information.

glib-config --version

just execute /lib/libc.so.6

Run:
rpm -q glibc

I am running RH9 and got the following:
$ rpm -q glibc
glibc-2.3.2-27.9.7
