You just need to do 'yum install gcc gcc-c++ binutils glibc-devel'. 
You might also need to do a 'yum install make autoconf automake
libtool' as well, depending on what Plugger uses as it build system
(and what else you don't have installed).  You might also need various
???-devel packages as well.
