google for "centos error performing checksum" refers to createrepo but of course "yum install createrepo" also fails and the instructions appear to be overkill.

Workaround is to run: "yum update --disablerepo=rhel-src" until you disable rhel-src in /etc/yum.repos.d/ file -- Ljubomir Ljubojevic (Love is in the Air) PL Computers Serbia, Europe Google is the Mother, Google is the Father, and traceroute is your trusty Spiderman...
