I usually try a 'yum clean all' first as a brute-force approach to anything that isn't working. It will clear all the cached stuff, including the preferred mirror (although it may pick the same one again with the fastestmirror test). -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

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. I'm sorry, my english is bad. 2012/12/19 John R Pierce > On 12/19/2012 11:25 AM, Marcin Lage wrote: > > *make.x86_64 1:3.81-20.el6 > > @base* > > > h, man, gotta stop posting before coffee.

It should work, no matter what is installed when he issues that command (though it may have to pull in many deps). OP must have a misconfiguration somewhere, or otherwise his mirror is bad.
