Thanks for the feedback. OK I'm making some progress.

So far I have

1) Upgraded RPM to latest version as I found current version of RPM did not allow me to install RPM packages I require

Downloaded rpm.rte
public - dhe - ibm com - aix - freeSoftware - aixtoolbox - INSTALLP -ppc

Ran smit and installed using software installation menu


2) Downloaded YUM package

Downloaded YUM
aix - freeSoftware - aixtoolbox - ezinstall -ppc - yum_bundle.tar

Ran smit and installed using software installation menu


Yum is now installed so tried to run yum install samba

Code:

yum install samba

Established that version of OpenSSL was too old:

Code:

lslpp -l|grep openssl
  openssl.base             1.0.1.515  COMMITTED  Open Secure Socket Layer
  openssl.man.en_US        1.0.1.515  COMMITTED  Open Secure Socket Layer
  openssl.base             1.0.1.515  COMMITTED  Open Secure Socket Layer

I downloaded Newer Version of OpenSSL from IBM's site version openssl-1.0.2.1801.tar.Z

uncompress openssl-1.0.2.1801.tar.Z

Code:

tar -xvf openssl-1.0.2.1801.tar

Installed OK via SMIT

Code:

lslpp -l|grep openssl
  openssl.base            1.0.2.1801  COMMITTED  Open Secure Socket Layer
  openssl.license         1.0.2.1801  COMMITTED  Open Secure Socket License
  openssl.man.en_US       1.0.2.1801  COMMITTED  Open Secure Socket Layer
  openssl.base            1.0.2.1801  COMMITTED  Open Secure Socket Layer

Updated Dependencies by running
updtvpkg



So I tried to run - yum install samba


Now I'm hitting some more dependency issues



So I thought maybe I need to remove the newer version of libgcc and downgrade it to 6.3.0

The problem is that if I remove the current version of libgcc this means that OPENSSL has a dependency issue... :-(

Code:

rpm -e libgcc
error: Failed dependencies:
        libgcc_s.a(shr.o) is needed by (installed) openssl-1.0.2s-1withsslv2.ppc
