CentOS - Development Tools Install
CentOS has some handy meta-packages that include a set of pre-defined programs needed for a single purpose. yum is an interactive, automated update program which can be used for maintaining systems using rpm
So instead of installing a dozen different package names, you can install just one meta-package. One such package is called ‘Development Tools’. Issue the command.
sudo yum groupinstall ‘Development Tools’
Notice the programs that are to be installed include gcc, make, patch and so on. All these are needed for many other programs to install properly. A neat system indeed.
Other Yum Options:
groupinstall group1 [group2] [...]
groupupdate group1 [group2] [...]
grouplist [hidden]
groupremove group1 [group2] [...]
groupinfo group1 [...]

How to Setup CentOS testing repo
Setting up repos
To install the CentOS testing repo, along with the yum-priorities plugin.
# cd /etc/yum.repos.d
# wget http://dev.centos.org/centos/5/CentOS-Testing.repo
# yum install yum-priorities
The priorities plugin can be used to enforce ordered protection of repositories, by associating priorities to repositories. Packages from repositories with a lower priority will never be used to upgrade packages that were installed from a repository with a higher priority.
The first thing to do is to install the packages. You need to ensure Apache is set up first.
Installation
