When ever i try to install GCC on my linux (centos) It comes back with missing

I try yum install kernel-header & kernel-devel but get back:
No package kernel-headers available.
Any suggestions?
After installing the kernel-devel package, you can find all the kernel headers files in /usr/src/kernels directory using following command.
The default location of kernel header files is /usr/src/kernels/ . If no matching kernel headers are found in that directory, go ahead and install kernel headers with yum command as follows.
Your system is probably configured to exclude the kernel packages.
try:
sudo vi /etc/yum.conf
then comment (or remove the 'kernel*' part):
#exclude=kernel*
Then you should be able to do:
sudo yum install kernel-headers
Edit: Or, as pointed by Andrew Beals, you can simply run:
yum install kernel-headers --disableexcludes=all
