exec(): 0509-036 Cannot load program oracleTEST because of the following error

To fix the issue we had relink oracle by executing the following command.
scott@localhost:/home/oracle $ relink oracle
chmod 755 /orabin/TEST/bin

– Linking Oracle
rm -f /orabin/TEST/rdbms/lib/oracle
ld -b64 -o /orabin/TEST/rdbms/lib/oracle -L/orabin/TEST/rdbms/lib/ -L/orabin/TEST/lib/ -bnoerrmsg -bbigtoc -bnoipath -bI:/orabin/TESt/lib/ksms…

mv -f /orabin/TEST/bin/oracle /orabin/TEST/bin/oracleO
mv /orabin/TEST/rdbms/lib/oracle /orabin/TEST/bin/oracle
chmod 6751 /orabin/TEST/bin/oracle

After rebuilding “scott” user was able to execute sqlplus
