Hey,

an alternative would be to use the program ProFit 
(http://www.bioinf.org.uk/software/profit/index.html), which does a 
least-square fitting based on aligned residues of one reference and one 
or more mobile structures. It comes with an extensive yet easy 
comprehensible set of commands.
I'm currently using it myself within my Python code.
