Are you trying to install AIM or GAIM? I would suggest installing GAIM if it is not already installed on your system. From the command line, you can type:
If that doesn't work, you'll probably need to install it.Code:/usr/bin/gaim

Have you already installed AIM or are you trying to run it?

This the instructions I got off the site: http://www.aim.com/get_aim/linux/latest_linux.adp#deb
Installation Instructions for Debian 3+
1. Download AIM onto your system.
2. Log in as root.
3. On the command line, type the dpkg command as shown in the example: dpkg -i aim_1.5.286-2.i386.deb where 1.5.286-1 represents the AIM version and release numbers.
4. To run AIM, log in as a regular user, and type "/usr/bin/aim" on the command line.
Not sure if you've tried that already...
