There are two solutions to this problem

 

Method 1

yum clean all
yum groupinstall "Development Tools"

Method 2

If the above method is useless, execute the following command

cd /etc/yum.repos.d
sudo wget http://public-yum.oracle.com/public-yum-el5.repo
cd /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/
sudo wget https://public-yum.oracle.com/RPM-GPG-KEY-oracle-el5

After execution, install

yum groupinstall "Development Tools"

The above methods are useful for personal testing. I hope they can help you
