To resolve some dependency to one of my programs, I have to install texinfo on my centos 6.6 system
yum install texinfo
it resulted to
Setting up Install Process
No package texinfo available
Error: Nothing to do
I don't know how to resolve this. So far, I've downloaded that binary rpm.
Can anyone point me to the right direction ?

It sounds like you may not have it enabled or configured. Have a check in /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo
Hopefully you have that file. Within the [base] and [updates]
section check if you have the line enabled=0
If you do change the 0
to a 1
If you don't have the .repo file at all then create it with the path & file name above then add the following to it;
[base]
name=CentOS-$releasever - Base
mirrorlist=http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=$releasever&arch=$basearch&repo=os
#baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/$releasever/os/$basearch/

Finally do yum clean all
and you should be good to go.
