Since you already asked me the same question directly, here's a summary 
of my previous answer to spare the Chimera folks some time:

Chimera and ChimeraX are two different programs. SALIGN outputs are for 
Chimera, not ChimeraX. If you have Chimera (not ChimeraX) installed, you 
can just open the showfile.chimerax file from within Chimera if it 
doesn't pop up automatically.
