SPICKER

SPICKER is a clustering algorithm to identify the near-native models from a pool of protein structure decoys. You can install and run the SPICKER program at your own computers by

1, download and unpack spicker.tar.gz. This package includes both source code (spicker.f) and executable program (spicker) of SPICKER, as well as other illustration files.
2, run ./spicker. If the program does not run, you may need to re-compile spicker.f in your computer. The current version is compiled by
>pgf77 -Mextend -O -s -fast -Wl,-static -o spicker spicker.f
If you do not have pgf77, you can also use
>g77 -static -O3 -o spicker spicker.f -lm
to obtain the excutable version.

For detail, please read the attached readme file.
