Thanks a lot for your response. Actually i do have LIG , which obviosuly the code did not understand and changed it into LI; at first I thought LI was LIG but in GROMACS' language. Is there any place where I can read how to implement changes in the .rtp file? or any other way to get the correct pdb format. i used openbabel because Markin SKETCH and ArgusLAB do not seem to keep the charged Nitrogen and Chlorine ions I have got in my structure. By the way, I have attached the pdb input file (I guess)..
