It runs fine on OS X, but I think I had to run 'ranlib' on the PDB library
to get it to compile properly.  However, I've seen at least one structure
(1ywf) for which it produces incorrect results; this may not matter if you
just want to make figures, but it's problematic for any other uses.

I was able to download the DSSP source code from CMBI without signing
anything - but it's still proprietary and only free to academics.  (And I
had no luck compiling it on a Mac, unfortunately.)
