I'm trying to install the latest version of GCC, I get a error;

Error: Package: glibc-devel-2.12-1.47.el6.i686 (base)

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

Running with the skip-broken doesn't do anything, still doesnt work, and I can't statically install ossec for example :/

What happens if you install glibc-headers?

At least this is an issue to discuss, not a problem to be fixed. I could help fix a problem, but don't care to discuss an issue.

edit: I see you changed the title of the post to not say "issue".

With yum install glibc-headers --skip-broken

Packages skipped because of dependency problems:
glibc-headers-2.12-1.47.el6.i686 from base
kernel-headers-2.6.32-220.el6.i686 from base

I see your sarcasim, and raise you one updated thread title. Checkmate!

A yum clean all might help if you have bad packages or metadata downloaded. Hard to tell the cause from the error messages you've posted.

Didnt work, even if I cleaned, then ran;
yum install glibc-headers

What do I do now? Reformat the VPS?

That seems unlikely to help. Or rather, it would help in the same way that a thermonuclear explosion would help you get rid of groundhogs that are digging up your yard.

My next step would be to disable any repositories other than base and updates and see if that makes a difference.

So I did;

rpm -qa | grep epel
yum remove epel-release-6-5.noarch
rm /etc/yum.repos.d/epel.repo
Still did not work...

rpm -qa | grep priorities
yum remove yum-plugin-priorities-1.1.30-10.el6.noarch
Fixed! Hooray!

I had setup the following;

[base]
name=CentOS-$releasever - Base
mirrorlist=http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=$releasever&arch=$basearch&repo=os
#baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/$releasever/os/$basearch/
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-6
priority = 1

I'm assuming the priority wasnt set right, but now when I run yum install gcc, it works!
