[gmx-users] Problem running do_dssp

[Dipankar Roy]

Hi,
I am trying to use do_dssp to generate a secondary structure map over time for a 10-ns simulation. I have installed dssp_2.2.0 at the usual /usr/local/bin
I tried running it with the following command line
do_dssp -f md.xtc -s md.tpr -o ss.xpm -sc ss.xvg -dt 100 -tu ps; but ended up with the following error.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Selected 4: 'Backbone'
There are 424 residues in your selected group
dssp cmd='/usr/local/bin/dssp -i dd5Yvoh4 -o ddazDUUO > /dev/null 2> /dev/null'
Reading frame       0 time    0.000   
Back Off! I just backed up dd5Yvoh4 to ./#dd5Yvoh4.1#
