Linux - Yum Install GCC - Missing Kernel-headers

When ever i try to install GCC on my linux (centos) It comes back with missing glibc-headers-2.5-58.el5_6.4.x86_64 from updates has depsolving problems --> Missing Dependency: kernel-headers is needed by package glibc-headers-2.5- 58.el5_6.4.x86_64 (updates) glibc-headers-2.5-58.el5_6.4.x86_64 from updates has depsolving problems --> Missing Dependency: kernel-headers >= 2.2.1 is needed by package glibc-headers-2.5- 58.el5_6.4.x86_64 (updates) Error: Missing Dependency: kernel-headers >= 2.2.1 is needed by package glibc-headers-2.5-58.el5_6.4.x86_64 (updates) Error: Missing Dependency: kernel-headers is needed by package glibc-headers-2.5-58.el5_6.4.x86_64 (updates) I try yum install kernel-header & kernel-devel but get back: No package kernel-headers available.

 

Your system is probably configured to exclude the kernel packages. try: sudo vi /etc/yum.conf  then comment (or remove the 'kernel*' part): #exclude=kernel*  Then you should be able to do: sudo yum install kernel-headers
