question about random generator

Hi all

I am new to this forum and to the c programming language.
If I understand, the random() function in C return numbers that follow a
uniform distribution U(0,1). Can somebody know how to generate a set of
random number that follow a normal distribution N(0,1) ? I am develloping
on power4 machine running AIX.

Thank you for your help
