    Hello, Ratna
    rpm.rte 4.15 is not supported on AIX 6.1. You can only install this level on 71 or higher.

    Hello Jan,
    Thank you very much for your prompt response. Thanks for saving me the trouble of attempting to install dependencies that also resulted in errors. What do I need to do in order to install YUM in AiX 6.1?   I would appreciate if you would share any documents/links you have so I can review them

    Hi, Ratna
    You can start here: (I have posted some links on this page, including where to get more help)

    As for YUM, see the following section in the referenced link
    3. IBM recommends Yellowdog Updater, Modified (YUM) to handle packaging dependencies.
