Sam,

Which version of CentOS are you using?  If it's 4, below is what I
found using the yum search capability.  I think that you are using the
wrong library name, which an escaped wildcard passed to yum would fix.

Regards,
Greg

An NSS compatibility library for Berkeley Databases and glibc 2.0.x.
Nss_db-compat is a set of C library extensions which allow Berkeley
Databases to be used as a primary source of aliases, ethers, groups,
hosts, networks, protocol, users, RPCs, services, and shadow passwords
(instead of or in addition to using flat files or NIS) from programs
linked against glibc 2.0.x.

Header files for the Linux kernel for use by glibc
Kernel-headers includes the C header files that specify the interface
between the Linux kernel and userspace libraries and programs.  The
header files define structures and constants that are needed for
building most standard programs and are also needed for rebuilding the
glibc package

Matched from:
glibc-profile
The glibc-profile package includes the GNU libc libraries and support
for profiling using the gprof program.  Profiling is analyzing a
program's functions to see how much CPU time they use and determining
which functions are calling other functions during execution.  To use
gprof to profile a program, your program needs to use the GNU libc
libraries included in glibc-profile (instead of the standard GNU libc
libraries included in the glibc package).

If you are going to use the gprof program to profile a program, you'll
need to install the glibc-profile package.
