    Hi Rajesh,

    Do you have some LIBPATH set ? If so then please try after unsetting LIBPATH.
    The other issue could be because you have some older RPMs installed before installing dnf. You may want to remove them and reinstall them.
    Please have a look at the similar issue faced by other user.
