Persuade AOL Corporation to release the source code, tweak it as needed, and compile it under the Linux libraries. (Sorry! I couldn't resist that.;-). Outside of that, AOL is a Windows-based application, and there is simply no way to get it to run under Linux without running it inside a Windows emulator like WINE, Win4Lin, or VMWare.
There are however, many Linux programs that emulate the functions of much of AOL, such as instant messaging and chat (ircii, gnomeicu and X-Chat come to mind), if this would help. Additionally, some of AOL's sections are accessible using any web browser. So, while you might not be able to run AOL and have its convenience, you could achieve the functional equivalent of much of it under Linux, while avoiding ALL of its problems.
