Hey, I run a dedicated server I use for game servers, I needed to install WINE for something, so I tried yum install wine, that didn't work. So I decided it might have just been a faulty package, I downloaded the source for WINE and compiled that, it then errored with /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lXext. Which I was told was cause I didn't have X11 installed. Yum once again failed to install the specified program. Since then I've tried installing loads of random stuff, it always gets stuck at
It continually hangs at that until I kill it, it gets stuck using 0% CPU, and about 4.x % of the RAM available. (out of 512Mb)

Any solutions, I really can't carry on without yum

Try yum clean all first then yum install 'whatever'
