The error appears to be related to Stamp not recognizing the protein within the loaded structure. Is there anything squirrelly about your pdb? I've used it before from solvated protein pdbs built in VMD itself, but depending on your system preparation and what is available to VMD from what you've loaded, Stamp may not have what it needs to be successful, and that is what you are seeing. Attaching your structure files probably will be required to sort out what is going on.

Hello VMD-ers,
I am trying to run STAMP structure alignment within MultiSeq.
Every time I get the following.
