root@x:/root: 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 /lib/libcurl.a(libcurl.so.4). 0509-150 Dependent module /lib/libldap.a(libldap-2.4.so.2) could not be loaded. 0509-153 File /lib/libldap.a is not an archive or

the file could not be read properly.

0509-026 System error: Cannot run a file that does not have a valid format. 0509-022 Cannot load module /opt/freeware/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pycurl.so. 0509-150 Dependent module /lib/libcurl.a(libcurl.so.4) 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:

2.7.17 (default, Feb 24 2020, 10:57:43) [GCC 8.3.0] If you cannot solve this problem yourself, please go to

Since the AIX idsldap filesets are udpated, yum only works if I set LIBPATH=/opt/freeware/lib. Same goes for curl.
Aren't the AIX toolbox software supposed to search /opt/freeware/lib first ?
