There have been a couple of system updates in between and that PKG may 
eventually not work on your install. 

Suggested way to install GCC and other needed tools for compiling:

Login to your server by SSH as "admin", use the command "su -" to gain root 
access. Then type this command:

yum install gcc autoconf automake

That will install "gcc" (the C compiler itself), autoconf and automake (which 
are required for the "./configure" and "make" part, as well as a couple of 
other dependencies.

Depending on what you want to compile you'll have to use yum a couple of times 
anyway to fetch other dependencies - like *-devel RPMs for stuff you compile 
against.
