I have already change .mdp file manually using gedit because I see in internet this error can also occur because .mdp file has been edited under Windows, but the problem still occur. is there any help or suggestion?

You've probably got something wrong with your .top file format, but we 
can't guess what. Have a read of the relevant bits of chapter 5, 
including the examples there.
