Although I haven’t used the CentOS development environment much recently, a friend previously asked about what needs to be installed for a CentOS compilation environment. After researching, I’m making a note of it here.
1. Complete Command
yum install gcc gcc-c++ gcc-g77 flex bison autoconf automake bzip2-devel zlib-devel ncurses-devel libjpeg-devel libpng-devel libtiff-devel freetype-devel pam-devel openssl-devel libxml2-devel gettext-devel pcre-devel
2. Simplified Command
yum groupinstall "Development tools"
