No.
can-utils (gitorious)
-> a set of the major community tools that are usually used and referenced
(does not need libsocketcan to compile and run)
libsocketcan
-> a library for people that want to configure und control CAN interfaces from
C code (instead of using the 'ip' tool from the iproute2 package).
canutils (ptx flavour) http://git.pengutronix.de/?p=tools/canutils.git
-> five tools that are used and referenced in 'PTX dist' board support packs.
Not that much features but contains 'canconfig' for CAN interface
configuration as alternative to the 'ip' tool. canconfig uses libsocketcan.

I would recommend can-utils (gitorious).

See above.
