The problem with this solution is that I would have to recompile gromacs on all 
maschines were I want to use dssp, right? Is there an older version of dssp 
still available from somewhere? On the dssp-homepage I found unfortunatly only 
the current but no past versions of dssp...

best,
Bernhard

The problem is that the dssp syntax has changed and the Gromacs code currently
can't handle that syntax.  A patch has been proposed in the development version
but it has not yet been incorporated into the git repository.  You could make
the modifications to the source yourself by following:
