Thanks Johnny.

Indeed i have RPMForge (which i never used yet, well some files were 
pumped from there because of my mistake described below!).

Soon after install, i did:  yum install yum-priorities


==> I don't know where i read that but i thought that the default 
priority level was 10 (maybe i was drunk!!!).  So rpmforge repo was set 
to 11 !!!  The default is 99, not 10!

==> So finally, i just edited /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo

and added line: priority=1
to sections: [base] & [updates]

After, i did:

yum groupinstall "Development Libraries" "Development Tools"

to find out that i had to remove packages:

yum remove subversion-1.5.0-0.1.el5.rf xulrunner-1.9.0.1-1.el5_2

Which were newer than in CentOS repos.


After removing Subversion & Xulrunner, Developpement Tools & Development 
Libraries installed just fine.


Thanks again for your help!
