Hi Sangeeta, Let me ask you few questions in order to solve the problem.
Are you sure your do_dssp prog were running or it was hanged? To make sure please try using verbose output using -v option. Is your computer shared among too many people? What is the file permission status of dssp? To find out use: ls -l /directory/where/you/put/dssp If you see any restricton to file permission change it to chmod a+rx dssp Hope this will help.

Seeking your help and thanks in advance. regards SANGEETA --------------------------------- Here's a new way to find what you're looking for - Yahoo! Answers
