Python module problem with yum

[tlos]

Hi there all,

I have a problem with yum. When I run yum it gives me this error:

[tlos_at_localhost ~]$ yum
There was a problem importing one of the Python modules
required to run yum. The error leading to this problem was:

/usr/synopsys/2010-2011/MVtools_vD-2010.06/linux/lib/libelf.so.1: version `ELFUTILS_1.1.1' not found (required by /usr/lib/librpmbuild-4.4.so)

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:
2.4.3 (#1, Nov 3 2010, 12:52:40)
[GCC 4.1.2 20080704 (Red Hat 4.1.2-4]

If you cannot solve this problem yourself, please go to
the yum faq at: --here it gives a link to yum faq webpage.

Before writing it here, I searched this problem in yum's website, as well as other forums but I couldnt solve the problem on my own. If anybody has any idea, I would like to hear it. I m having this problem on Red Hat Enterprize Linux 5.5.
