I tried both commands and keep getting the same error as before. I
installed using Strongbolt. Any assistance is much appreciated. Below
is the error (again):
[root@c2raq4 ~]# yum install python
There was a problem importing one of the Python modules
required to run yum. The error leading to this problem was:
AttributeError: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
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:
2.3.4 (#1, May 2 2007, 19:26:00)
[GCC 3.4.6 20060404 (Red Hat 3.4.6-8)]
If you cannot solve this problem yourself, please go to
the yum faq at:

[root@c2raq4 ~]#
Thanks,
