Please use AIX Toolbox rpms. We have a yum.sh script to make things easier.

but: yum install samba did not work

# yum install samba
There was a problem importing one of the Python modules
required to run yum. The error leading to this problem was:

       0509-130 Symbol resolution failed for /opt/freeware/lib/libcurl.a(libcurl.so.4) because:
    0509-136   Symbol SSL_get0_alpn_selected (number 262) is not exported from
           dependent module /usr/lib/libssl.a(libssl.so).
    0509-136   Symbol SSL_CTX_set_alpn_protos (number 263) is not exported from
           dependent module /usr/lib/libssl.a(libssl.so).
    0509-136   Symbol SSL_COMP_free_compression_methods (number 271) is not exported from
           dependent module /usr/lib/libssl.a(libssl.so).
    0509-022 Cannot load module /opt/freeware/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pycurl.so.
    0509-026 System error: Cannot run a file that does not have a valid format.
    0509-192 Examine .loader section symbols with the
         'dump -Tv' command.

Please install a package which provides this module, or
verify that the module is installed correctly.

It's possible that the above module doesn't match the
current version of Python, which is:
2.7.12 (default, Feb 20 2017, 03:58:51) [C]

If you cannot solve this problem yourself, please go to
the yum faq at:
  http://yum.baseurl.org/wiki/Faq

Seems like you have a older version of openssl installed. Get the updated one from AIX web download pack https://www-01.ibm.com/marketing/iwm/iwm/web/reg/pick.do?source=aixbp .

Install the fileset and try again. (Also run "updtvpkg" command after installing any fileset so that rpm database gets updated ).
