I am running FC6.

$rpm -qf /usr/include/string.h
glibc-headers-2.5-10.fc6

Hope this helps you.

i figured it out after googling a while
I've tried yum provides stdio.h ,
it gave me nothing , it assumes the package installed

If you want yum to search pathnames, you need to put a shell glob in
the query.  Something like this will work (and return a number of
packages that all contain a file named stdio.h):

yum provides '*/stdio.h'

Just for the record, you should not be able to compile any C code at
all, since the GNU C Compiler package "gcc" Requires "glibc-devel",
the package that contains the C standard library files for software
development. They build a set. When installing gcc, glibc-devel is
installed, too. Most likely you did not have "gcc" installed either.
Btw, it's a similar thing with C++, "g++" Requires "libstdc++-devel".
