I don't think it's mentioned in the installation guide for UNIX systems but this is from the administrator's guide for UNIX systems :

"You might receive one of the following error messages when starting an executable:

On AIX systems:

$ sample1
exec(): 0509-036 Cannot load program ./sample1 because of the following errors:
0509-022 Cannot load library libclntsh.a [shr.o] 0509-026 System error: A file or directory in the pathname does not exist.

If you receive one of these error messages, set one of the following environment variables, depending on your platform:

Platform Environment Variable Sample Setting AIX (64-bit applications) LIBPATH $ORACLE_HOME/lib AIX (32-bit applications) LIBPATH $ORACLE_HOME/lib32"
