Sorry for being so blunt, but: get some professional help. Everything i could tell you right now would be a VERY lenghty article and even this would not take into account any of the many things that could go wrong or are depending on which hardware/software combination exactly you are working on (AIX 4.x was around for about 7 years and there is a HUGE difference between a 4.1.5 system and a 4.3.3 ML11 system).
As you do not even know anything about UNIX as you said this would be like helping someone who has never been piloting an aeroplane how to safely land a 747. This might be possible in movies but in reality this simply is not going to work.
So get some professional with an AIX background and let him/her do it. Pay an hour more and s/he might even explain some of the basics of the system to you. You on yourself (even with well-meant help from here) have a close-to-100% chance of ending in disaster, perhaps a lot more expensive than the cost of the consultant in first place.

OPTIONS
-force forces all action to be taken, regardless of state.

EXAMPLES
For the command:
gpt-install foo-2.1-gcc32-pgm.tar.gz
foo-1.1-gcc32-pgm will be replaced.
foo-2.2-gcc32-pgm will B<not> be replaced. It is newer.
foo-1.1-vendorcc32-pgm will B<not> be replaced. Wrong flavor.
foo-1.1-gcc32-pgm_static will B<not> be replaced. Wrong package type
foo-2.2-gcc32-pgm_static will B<not> be replaced. Wrong package type
For the command:
gpt-install -force foo-2.1-gcc32-pgm.tar.gz
foo-1.1-gcc32-pgm will be replaced.
foo-2.2-gcc32-pgm will be replaced.
foo-1.1-vendorcc32-pgm will B<not> be replaced. Wrong flavor
foo-1.1-gcc32-pgm_static will B<not> be replaced. Wrong package type

foo-2.2-gcc32-pgm will B<not> be replaced. It is newer.

foo-1.1-gcc32-pgm_static will be replaced.

BUGS
gpt-install currently does not honor static build numbers. Instead it will replace any pgm_static package that is the same version or
older. For example:
gpt-install -force foo-2.1-2-gcc32-pgm_static.tar.gz
foo-1.1-5-gcc32-pgm_static will be replaced.
foo-2.1-1-gcc32-pgm_static will be replaced.
foo-2.1-5-gcc32-pgm_static will be replaced.
foo-2.2-1-gcc32-pgm_static will not be replaced.
foo-2.1-gcc32-pgm will not be replaced.
