Try 

cd $LOAD
ldd AIPS.EXE

see what it shows.  Mine shows

primate<330>$ ldd AIPS.EXE
  libreadline.so.4 => /usr/lib/libreadline.so.4 (0x40034000)
  libncurses.so.5 => /usr/lib/libncurses.so.5 (0x40060000)
  libg2c.so.0 => /usr/local/compilers/9/gcc_3.4.4/lib/libg2c.so.0 (0x4009f000)
  libm.so.6 => /lib/tls/libm.so.6 (0x400bd000)
  libgcc_s.so.1 => /usr/local/compilers/9/gcc_3.4.4/lib/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x400df000)
  libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/libc.so.6 (0x42000000)
  /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000)


The file $SYSUNIX/AIPSEXEC actually starts ZSTRTA - you could try
putting an 

echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH

in it to see that the path is set properly.

I would be interested in your summary of problems with Fedora Core 4 -
I think we have had other users install aips on that system.
