You are probably on a 64-bit O/S, aren't you. In that case the $ORACLE_HOME/lib directory contains the 64-bit libraries. You can verify this by the file or the nm command, or whatever is appropiate for your O/S, which you require us to guess at. Mixing 64-bit and 32-bit sounds like a bad idea, linking a 64-bit oracle executable with 32-bit libraries even worse.
