I sounds like that program is dynamically linked to libcurl.so.2 so you're
on the right track. If there is a libcurl.so.2 file on the machine already
(somewhere), you may just need to point the dynamic loader to the directory
containing it. I'm not sure how to do that in AIX.

The install.html only applies to source distributions, not binary
distributions. Installing a binary archive is dependent on which package
you're installing. The UCLA AIX binary appears to be a standard compressed
tarball, but doesn't include the libcurl.so file. The Written Word binary
contains a .bff file which is probably an AIX-specific packaging format. If
you can't make sense of that, then just download the source archive and
follow the install.html instructions to make your own dynamic library.
