When attempting to install the Development Tools on CentOS 7 I get the error:

Error: Package: systemtap-devel-2.8-10.el7.armv7hl (base)
           Requires: kernel-devel

However I can not seem to find a kernel-devel with yum search? Anyone know how to get around this issue?

Like Sinclair says, here is the Repo for Raspberry Pi 2/3. I suggest better than use the yum repo, download manually the rmp from it and install it using yum.

Check that kernel files are not excluded from updates in the /etc/yum.conf file. If you see a line like this:

exclude=kernel*

comment it out and try the yum command again. You may need to run

yum clean all

first to re-populate the yum cache.

CentOS 7 includes a kernel-devel package, see http://mirror.centos.org/centos/7/os/x86_64/Packages/. Each update changes the kernel version (the 327 in kernel-devel-3.10.0-327.el7.x86_64.rpm). The hardware architecture "x86_64" is also important. Compare output from Linux command "uname -a" (reports information about your system) with the package name.

Yum only works if the repositories are configured and reachable. Rpm files can also be located on a CentOS install DVD under the Packages directory. You can install them with the "rpm -i" command. Again, architecture and versions need to match.
