All, I've looked at the site and cannot figure this out, so apologies if this is a painful often seen question. I'm trying to install dssp for use with do_dssp on an OSX.5 PPC system with the following steps, in the dssp folder:

./DsspCompileCC

cd..

sudo mv dssp /usr/local

cd /usr/local/bin

sudo ln -s /usr/local/dssp/dsspcmbi

Having done that I can type dsspcmbi in a terminal and run the dssp program. However, running do_dssp returns

-------------------------------------------------------
Program do_dssp, VERSION 4.0.4
Source code file: do_dssp.c, line: 422

Fatal error:
DSSP executable (/usr/local/bin/dssp) does not exist (use setenv DSSP)
-------------------------------------------------------

My problem is compiling the dssp source does not return a 'dssp' file, rather the 'dsspcmbi' executable, as advertised. I feel I'm missing a minor last step and would appreciate any help.

Right, so rename the dsspcmbi executable dssp and move it /usr/local/bin, nothing fancy. The other option is to export DSSP=/path/to/your/dssp
