Hi,
I am trying to use do_dssp to generate a secondary structure map over time for 
a 10-ns simulation. I have installed dssp_2.2.0 at the usual /usr/local/bin
I tried running it with the following command line
do_dssp -f md.xtc -s md.tpr -o ss.xpm -sc ss.xvg -dt 100 -tu ps; but ended up 
with the following error.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Selected 4: 'Backbone'
There are 424 residues in your selected group
dssp cmd='/usr/local/bin/dssp -i dd5Yvoh4 -o ddazDUUO > /dev/null 2> /dev/null'
Reading frame       0 time    0.000
Back Off! I just backed up dd5Yvoh4 to ./#dd5Yvoh4.1#

Failed to execute command: Try specifying your dssp version with the -ver

This issue has been discussed numerous times (hint: check the archive, it will save you time!) and the solution is shown in the fatal error. DSSP has different syntax in different versions. If you have dssp-2.2.0, use "-ver 2" in the do_dssp command. Also note that Backbone will not work because DSSP requires carbonyl oxygen atoms to determine hydrogen bonding patterns. You need to choose, at minimum, MainChain.
