Ayappan - Thank you for your rapid response!
I do not have "LIBPATH" set, the command "set | grep LIB" returns nothing.
I tried to update python to 2.7.18-3, but get the following list of failed dependencies:

What is the need to install a very old version of glib2 ? Looks like the system already has newer glib2 installed. All these packages work together , so going back to a very old version will break things. That is what is shown in the rpm error.
For the yum error, please check whether you have any LIBPATH exported. We don't recommend to set any LIBPATH. Also please update the python version (2.7.10 is very old) and then try yum. If still facing issues, share the "rpm -qa" output here.

Subject: Problems with first time YUM installation
Hello,
I am trying to install YUM on AIX 7.2 TL4 SP3 for the first time on a system that has LPAR2RRD installed on it. When trying to install glib2-2.14.6-2.aix5.2.ppc.rpm. I get the following errors:
# /usr/bin/rpm -Uvh glib2-2.14.6-2.aix5.2.ppc.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
libgio-2.0.a(libgio-2.0.so.0) is needed by (installed) librsvg2-2.34.2-1.ppc - librsvg2-2.34.2-1.ppc

All of the other packages install fine. However, when I try to run yum (e.g. "yum repolist") I get the following error:
# yum repolist
There was a problem importing one of the Python modules
required to run yum. The error leading to this problem was:
0509-022 Cannot load module /opt/freeware/lib/libglib-2.0.a(libglib-2.0.so.0).
0509-150 Dependent module /usr/lib/libiconv.a(libiconv.so.2) could not be loaded.
0509-152 Member libiconv.so.2 is not found in archive
0509-022 Cannot load module /opt/freeware/lib/python2.7/site-packages/_sqlitecache.so.
0509-150 Dependent module /opt/freeware/lib/libglib-2.0.a(libglib-2.0.so.0) could not be loaded.
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:
2.7.10 (default, Jun 22 2016, 05:57:59) [C]
If you cannot solve this problem yourself, please go to
the yum faq at:
http://yum.baseurl.org/wiki/FaqWhat am I missing, and what do I need to do to correct?
Cheers, Richard
