    Hi Team,

    We are facing issues while installing rpm packages for python3.7 in AIX 7.1. oslevel version is 7100-03-07-1614.

    we almost installed python3.7 dependencies rpm packages. But still, we cannot install these packages. 

    gettext is dependent on glib2, glib2 is dependent on gettext , libiconv is dependent on gettext.
