A couple comments:

1) To remove the "emacs: Command not found", you could install emacs.  
For example, something like "sudo apt-get install emacs25" on Ubuntu [ 
https://askubuntu.com/questions/851633/emacs-25-on-ubuntu-16-10 ].  Or 
in .bashrc, you could change

export EDITOR="emacs"

to another text editor like vi (or gedit, nano, etc.)[ 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Linux_text_editors ]

export EDITOR="vi"

2) WIEN2k 18.2 should have:

username at computername:~$ cat $WIENROOT/WIEN2k_VERSION
WIEN2k_18.2 (Release 17/7/2018)
username at computername:~$ grep "The program symmetso" $WIENROOT/initso_lapw
The program symmetso detects the proper symmetry and creates new struct and

The misspelled "dedects" indicates that you are likely using an older 
WIEN2k version.  Older versions had some issues with or improvements 
made for spin orbit (SO) calculations. Full details can be found on the 
WIEN2k updates page [ 
http://susi.theochem.tuwien.ac.at/reg_user/updates/ ].  For example:

VERSION_18.1: 1.6.2018

...

SRC_symmetso: extensive fixes for writing correct files with modified 
symmetry. Corrects also r2v, vresp files (if present); tol=1.e-4
