I've been unsuccessfully searching for a way to install make utility on my CentOS 5.2. I've looked through some RPM repositories and online, with no avail. Installing gcc, gcc-c++ didn't help! Package build-essential is not made for CentOS/RHEL. I have RPMFORGE repo enabled in YUM.

On Unix-like operating systems, make is a utility for building and maintaining groups of programs (and other types of files) from source code.
CentOS is short for “Community Enterprise Operating System”. The CentOS Linux distribution was based on the source code of the commercial license Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL). But CentOS Linux was discontinued in December 2021, and it was replaced by CentOS Stream.
CentOS Stream 8 is part of the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 development process and updates will continue through the full support phase of the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 lifecycle. CentOS Stream 9 launched in 2021 as part of the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 development process with a similar update cycle.
Yes, CentOS 7 is currently the only supported CentOS version: CentOS Linux 7 will continue to receive community security patches and bug fix updates until June 2024.
yum groupinstall "Development Tools"
or
yum install gcc gcc-c++ kernel-devel
yum install make
also works.

I just double checked and CentOS 5.2 already includes make!
I found it also in one of the online mirrors, if it is easier for you:
http://centos.cogentcloud.com/5.2/os/i386/CentOS/make-3.81-3.el5.i386.rpm
if you installed the 64 bit version:
http://centos.cogentcloud.com/5.2/os/x86_64/CentOS/make-3.81-3.el5.x86_64.rpm
