Installing/Updating Packages on Red Hat 5

Trying to install Oracle 11gr2 on Red Hat 5.  Some checks fail saying i need:
package gcc-4.1.2(x86-64)
package glibc-devel-2.5(x86_64)
package glibc-headers-2.5
package gcc-c+++-4.1.2(x86_64)

I put in yum install and get these messages.  What do I need to do to get the packages I want installed?

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: package-cleanup --problems
                        package-cleanup --dupes
                        rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
The program package-cleanup is found in the yum-utils package.

You first need to install gcc and g++

yum install gcc g++ glibc

So do
yum install gcc-c++

Second package is

Did you try:

yum install kernel-devel

It says use the package-cleanup --problems option at the bottom of the output

Have you added any recent repos?
Disable any newly added or anything you're not using.

I'm guessing that the kernel-headers package is specifically excluded so it wont be downloaded and that may be why the dependencies fail.

see if yo have an exclude option in your /etc/yum.conf file.
