Hello,

I am trying to secondary structure analysis using DSSP in gromacs so i
followed this procedure

First I downloaded dssp

wget ftp://ftp.cmbi.ru.nl/pub/software/dssp/dssp-2.0.4-linux-amd64  -O
~/dssp

this gave dssp executable file in my home directory

I checked ./dssp ...it works

Then i set environment variable as follows

export DSSP=/myhomedir/dssp/dssp

then i executed following command in gromacs

do_dssp -f protein.xtc -s protein.tpr -sc scount.xvg -o ss.xpm -dt 10

But this gives following error

*Program do_dssp, VERSION 4.5.4
Source code file:
/home/toor/gromacs/gromacs-4.5.4/src/tools/do_dssp.c, line: 516

Fatal error:
DSSP executable (/home/dssp) does not exist (use setenv DSSP)*

*Can any body explain where it went wrong...*


Apparently you set the environment variable wrong. When reporting problems, please be exact. You have an export statement above that does not match what do_dssp actually finds. We don't know where your files are or how you've organized things. The DSSP environment variable needs to point to the dssp executable itself, not the directory containing it.
