You haven't installed C and C++ compiler.
Execute this

su -
yum -y install gcc gcc-c++

[root@localhost ~]# yum -y install gcc gcc-c++
Loading "installonlyn" plugin

Are you running any other instance of Package Manager like Add/Remove, Pirut or Yum Extender?

i dont understand wt u mean by c and c++ compiler not installed.sorry if my doubt is silly.gcc is a c,c++ compiler.so i was trying to install it.but how can i get an error saying c ,c++ compiler not installed?

Okk ! I didn't read your post correctly. You can compile any package without C/C++ compiler. Either install gcc using yum as I have suggested earlier.
Or download gcc in rmp format and install it. You will face a lot of dependency problems during rpm format installation.
