    exec(): 0509-036 Cannot load program /opt/freeware/bin/python because of the following errors:
    rtld: 0712-001 Symbol _GLOBAL__AIXI_libstdc___so was referenced

          of the symbol was not found.
    rtld: 0712-001 Symbol _GLOBAL__AIXD_libstdc___so was referenced

          of the symbol was not found.

    Running yum.sh script installs python-2.7.10 and which doesn't require these missing symbols.

    I am guessing python was already installed in the machine before running yum.sh script. 

    If higher version of python is already installed then yum.sh script won't downgrade to lower level of python-2.7.10.

     

    Looks like this error is mainly due to the missing libstdc++.a library from the system.

    This can be installed from https://public.dhe.ibm.com/aix/freeSoftware/aixtoolbox/RPMS/ppc-7.1/gcc/libstdcplusplus-6.3.0-1.aix7.1.ppc.rpm

     

    Thanks,
