The problem with this solution is that I would have to recompile gromacs on all maschines were I want to use dssp, right? Is there an older version of dssp still available from somewhere? On the dssp-homepage I found unfortunatly only the current but no past versions of dssp...


There are indeed old versions on the DSSP homepage (I was unaware of that until Mark's reply, which made me poke around). Under Miscellaneous -> Distribution, there is a heading called "DSSPold" that appears to contain the old version of the program.

The problem is that the dssp syntax has changed and the Gromacs code currently can't handle that syntax. A patch has been proposed in the development version but it has not yet been incorporated into the git repository. You could make
the modifications to the source yourself by following:
