First, constraints are different from restraints in Gromacs.  If you 
want to *restrain* the position of your ligand, use position 
restraints.  You can create a posre.itp for your ligand using genpr 
(making individual ligand .itp files if you have multiple), then include 
it in your system topology, i.e.:

#ifdef -DPOSRES_LIG
#include "ligand_posre.itp"
#endif

Also, as a general note, search the list archive before posting, as I 
know I have seen this error before.  Choose an informative subject line 
for your messages to attract the attention of someone who might know how 
to help.  Many emails with "help" as the subject line get ignored, 
because it is often assumed that the answer can be found in the manual, 
list archive, or wiki.
