When ever i try to install GCC on my linux (centos) It comes back with missing
glibc-headers-2.5-58.el5_6.4.x86_64 from updates has depsolving problems --> Missing Dependency: kernel-headers is needed by package glibc-headers-2.5- 58.el5_6.4.x86_64 (updates) glibc-headers-2.5-58.el5_6.4.x86_64 from updates has depsolving problems -->
Missing Dependency: kernel-headers >= 2.2.1 is needed by package glibc-headers-2.5- 58.el5_6.4.x86_64 (updates)
Error: Missing Dependency: kernel-headers >= 2.2.1 is needed by package glibc-headers-2.5-58.el5_6.4.x86_64 (updates)
Error: Missing Dependency: kernel-headers is needed by package glibc-headers-2.5-58.el5_6.4.x86_64 (updates)
I try yum install kernel-header & kernel-devel but get back:
No package kernel-headers available.
Any suggestions?

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
