Many thanks to Mr. Lemkul and Mr. Rodrigues, their solution was, as they say, the ticket.

All, I've looked at the site and cannot figure this out, so apologies if this is a painful often seen question. I'm trying to install dssp for use with do_dssp on an OSX.5 PPC system with the following steps, in the dssp folder:
./DsspCompileCC
cd..
sudo mv dssp /usr/local
cd /usr/local/bin
sudo ln -s /usr/local/dssp/dsspcmbi
Having done that I can type dsspcmbi in a terminal and run the dssp program. However, running do_dssp returns
-------------------------------------------------------
Program do_dssp, VERSION 4.0.4
Source code file: do_dssp.c, line: 422
Fatal error:
DSSP executable (/usr/local/bin/dssp) does not exist (use setenv DSSP)
-------------------------------------------------------
My problem is compiling the dssp source does not return a 'dssp' file, rather the 'dsspcmbi' executable, as advertised. I feel I'm missing a minor last step and would appreciate any help.

Right, so rename the dsspcmbi executable dssp and move it /usr/local/ bin, nothing fancy. The other option is to export DSSP=/path/to/ your/dssp
