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

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

yum groupinstall 'Development Libraries' 'Development Tools'

indeed, as you typically not only need the compiler itself, but the build tool suite, as well as libraries for various things, and assorted utilities. The above groupinstall command gets you very far down the path, although it does load quite a large number of packages (on a slow link, it could take several hours).
