[CentOS] yum install make does not work
I try to install make (should be present in base): yum install make Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, refresh-packagekit, security Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile * base: mirrors.supportex.net * epel: mirror.nl.leaseweb.net * extras: mirrors.supportex.net * rpmforge: archive.cs.uu.nl * updates: mirrors.supportex.net Setting up Install Process No package make available. Error: Nothing to do This is a fresh install of CentOS6 (starting with a minimal install). All repositories seem to be working. I issued a yum clean and even removed the cache manually. A machine with a similar setup works as expected (yum remove make;yum install make). This problem prevents me from installing group server-platform. Since I started with a core installation by accident (wanted a Desktop) I simply Googled for the list of groups needed: Default grouplist: base core debugging directory-client java-platform network-file-system-client server-platform fonts print-client basic-desktop desktop-debugging desktop-platform general-desktop graphical-admin-tools input-methods legacy-x x11 internet-applications internet-browser office-suite remote-desktop-clients I was able to install all these groups except server-platform. And this boils down to not being able to install make.

Re: [CentOS] yum install make does not work
I'm not sure, but maybe you have to set priorities among their repositories. I have also configured repositories rpmforge and EPEL on my system, and to avoid conflicts between packages from these repositories with packages from default repositories, I install the plugin priorities - yum install yum -priorities. Then configure the files of repositories: [rpmforge.repo] - priority = 1 [epel.repo] - priority = 2 Perhaps this lack of precedence between repositories, please discard the search for yum package within the repository @ Base.Or you can try disabling repositories: EPEL and rpmforge.
