Just as a side note: when installing downloaded files (e.g.
make-3.81-20.el6.x86_64.rpm) better using yum then rpm, as in
# yum install make-3.81-20.el6.x86_64.rpm
otherwise after that install you will always get warnings about RPMDB
altered outside of yum.
Regarding your specific problem, as already suggested I'd start with
# yum clean all
