At a guess:
1) The idl executable was built to use shared Motif & Toolkit libraries and
2) Either you don't have them on your machine or they aren't in the
expected place.

N.B. This is a guess based on experience with other utilities on other
machines.

This guess is half of it, I suppose :-) He either doesn't have it
or it's in the wrong place (very unlikely) OR he has installed
Motif 1.1.4 and not 1.2 which is the one, IDL3.6 needs.

You should run
lslpp -l X11*motif*
and this should return at least:
X11rte.motif1.2.obj 01.02.03.00 AIXwindows Motif 1.2 Run Time Support
