[Wien] Problem with aim.def

If $ is the bash terminal.

It seems like you might have just did (while in the case directory):

$ aim

However, if you see the WIEN2k 14.2 usersguide on page 134 in section 
"8.1.1 Execution" [ 
http://www.wien2k.at/reg_user/textbooks/usersguide.pdf ].  The command 
needs to be:

$ x aim

or

Real: $ aim aim.def
Complex: $ aimc aim.def

"x aim" should automatically create aim.def. Since you manually created 
aim.def, I assume that you are using "aim[c] aim.def".  So check if the 
name of the file in the directory (aim.def) and command (aim aim.def) 
are consistent.  In Linux, case sensitivity can be important. For 
example, aim.def (with lowercase letters) and AIM.DEF (with uppercase 
letters) are considered different.
