I'm working on rhel 7 and I need to compile c code. The server has no repositories and I had to install new ones, I've installed epel and rpmforge repos but I can't install gcc.
RHEL is not a free distro. Access to the repos requires a current and paid subscription. If you have a current subscription, you should be contacting RH to reset your repos. If you do not have a current subscription, you should not be using RHEL, switch to CentOS instead.
If you use multiple repositories, particularly RPMForge, you must make sure they don't overwrite each others library installations, or else disaster may strike! https://wiki.centos.org/PackageManag...Yum/Priorities
Since gcc is in the RHEL repository, it sounds like this is not a paid-for installation. That means not only no repository, but no updates: if so, you need CentOS.
