[Users] Unable to compile inside VPS

[David Mezquíriz Osés]

Hi all,

It's solved the problem,

there was an error on my yum.conf file which had this line on it 
"exclude=glib*" and so that I wasn't able to install with you any gcc 
package.  After removing this package everything went ok.

Thanks a lot for your help,

David
