whats the problem??

why try so hard if yum is preconfigured within centos.
So yum install http*
it will do all the work for you.
Give it a try.

dude just
apt-get install build-essential

and everything will be okay, let me know when its done.. =)

In case that your using redhat based system ...
use YUM. which is nearly the same to apt-get but it's already included.

Have you looked in config.log to see if there was more information? It may be that there's a problem with your compiler installation. What is the output of which gcc?
