make 

autoconf 

automake 

git 

patch 

bison 

gettext 

pkgconfig 

SVN 

libtool and 

gdb etc.

Open a terminal or access your server via ssh, when you do, you should make sure you have root privileges to run this command so you see the # symbol at the beginning of the text, remember that this symbol is not part of the command, is the prompt that tells you you're roo privileges. To install the development tools in centos running:

 

# yum groupinstall "Development tools"

 

Example of text displayed when running the above command:
