Hello. I tried to compile a program (plugger), but I don't have *any* sort of compiler installed. This is on Cent5.3.

I tried a google.com/linux search - the only link that seemed helpful was http://gcc.gnu.org/ -- where I found only this: "The core distribution includes the C language front end as well as the shared components." I have no clue which package would be the FE, and what the shared components are. Perhaps 1 of those packages is the core?

I would use a group install rather than messing around package by package. As root run:

yum groupinstall 'Development Libraries' 'Development Tools'
