    This could be caused by a temporary outage. I take it you're trying to do:

    Code:
    yum install gcc
    All I can suggest is that you give it a couple of hours and try again. The alternative is to download the rpm directly from a known mirror and use the 'rpm' command to install it - but doing that means you'll have to meet any dependencies on other packages yourself.
