[gmx-users] error running gromacs usinh charmm force field

[Justin A. Lemkul]

Take a look at the other force field files in the same directory.  What files
are there (.rtp, .atp, .hdb, etc)?  You are still missing a lot of files. 
Search the mailing list archive for charmm; I recall seeing a few posts
regarding where to download the necessary components, but I have never used
them so I can't help much more than that.
