需要安装epel源。

1. Download latest epel-release rpm from

   http://download-ib01.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/x86_64/

2. Install epel-release rpm:

   # rpm -Uvh epel-release*rpm

打开/etc/yum.repos.d/epel.repo，将

[epel]
name=Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux 6 - $basearch
#baseurl=http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/$basearch
mirrorlist=https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=epel-6&arch=$basearch

修改为

[epel]
name=Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux 6 - $basearch
baseurl=http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/$basearch
#mirrorlist=https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=epel-6&arch=$basearch
再清理源，重新安装

yum clean all
yum install -y 需要的包
