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.
Any clue how to fix this?

Does 'yum search make' show the make package? What about 'yum info make'?

if you need make, odds are, you'll also need more development tools (gcc, etc etc), I'd suggest ...

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.

If you're going to use priorities, I'd make the CentOS mirrors highest, then work my way down, with epel being *above* repoforge, since the latter contains packages that conflict with some of the standard CentOS base packages.

Better than some folks.

this hasn't been true for more than two years, since the split between repoforge-extras (which contains packages that replace base packages) and repoforge (which doesn't).

... and the former (-extras) is installed 'disabled' by default.

yum groupinstall "Development Tools"
agreed, but that doesn't explain why "yum install make" doesn't work for him. 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. Theo: I suggest disabling all repos except os+updates and trying again. And the usual "yum clean all" but I think you already did that?

He could go to that mirror with a web browser and see if the package actually exists there.

I have two installations. One that works, and one that does not, so I can compare. I want to point to a known good mirror, but haven't figured out how to do that. I can probably just download the make rpm and install it with rpm. But that feels like cheating :-). And only one package seems to not exist. How does yum "remember" that? Is it perhaps a rpm database thing?

What is special with this install is that I used PXE init disk to boot the installation disk (I added an entry to an existing boot loader and placed the initial ramdisk and vmlinux in /boot). Could the initial installation source be the reason?

So this is the mirror for base: http://mirrors.supportex.net/centos/6/os/x86_64/Packages/ http://mirrors.supportex.net/centos/6/os/x86_64/Packages/make-3.81-20.el6.x8...
The mirror looks fine to me.

Found it.
Just a simple typo in yum .conf:
exclude=freetype*
This is the default, if you *make* this bigger *yum* won't see if the metadata # is newer on the remote and so you'll "gain" the bandwidth of not having to
I need to exclude freetype as I compiled my own version (with BCI enabled). I apparently removed the # on the line below. And that does not give an error message. It simply excludes "This" "is"... and "make" and "yum".
Thanks for all replies.

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).

Just as a side note: when installing downloaded files (e.g. make-3.81-20.el6.x86_64.rpm) better using yum then rpm, as in # yum install make-3.81-20.el6.x86_64.rpm otherwise after that install you will always get warnings about RPMDB altered outside of yum.
Regarding your specific problem, as already suggested I'd start with # yum clean all
