The error is probably related to missing dihedral parameters.  Was your initial 
topology constructed by PRODRG?  It looks like it.  If so, the dihedral 
parameters will be for use with a GROMOS-type force field, so simply changing 
type to 3 will not suffice.  Have a look in ffoplsaabon.itp for the correct way 
to define an OPLS-AA dihedral with all the necessary parameters.
