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?
