Thanks!
However now I jet another error
-bash: export: `/home/cocktail/vitalini/gromacs_special/bin/dssp': not
a valid identifier
even though the path is correct and I have saved the binary file that
I downloaded with the name dssp. Do you kno if after downloading I
have  to do anything with the binary file to make it work? n the dssp
website they don't write anything about it.
Thanks again
