Likely you've got a version mismatch issue. It appears you're using an 
old version of GROMACS, which may or may not be compatible with the 
newer (version 2.x) DSSP binaries that are distributed. First, check to 
make sure you can directly run DSSP (not via do_dssp) on a coordinate 
file, and if that works, then try upgrading GROMACS to the latest 
version, which has the ability to call DSSP via different syntax 
(version 1.x or 2.x).
