Unfortunately, the GUI isn't quite set up to tell you what the error would be.
Seriously? I'd say that if it's not set up that way it has no business being included in a stable release of anything, let alone an "enterprise operating system"...
When you use `$ sudo yum install whatever.rpm`, the output in the shell will often give you a clue as to what's going wrong--a missing dependency, etc.
Actually, I'm talking about cases where there isn't or shouldn't be anything going wrong at all. The rpms install just fine from the command line.

There's a nice bit of info on creating "local" repos for rpm packs you might want to install that are not availble in standard CentOS repos.
https://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/CreateLocalRepos
This section, esp --
* Create /etc/yum.repos.d/local.repo
shows you syntax etc.
I set up a local repo for my install DVD some time ago, then set it to "enabled=0" it when I was basically finished with it. There were packs on it that didn't seem to exist in any other CentOS repo.
You really could use ANY gpg key and just disable the gpgchek I think. In any case, this is a good approach and will provide you with a "gui" interface for installing the local rpms stored in one area of your system.
Hope this helps,
Kay

The command line is your friend.
Have a look at yumex. I think you'll prefer the command line, though.
