It is always better to post the exact error message.  What tool are you using 
that complains?

Define what?

If you are using pdb2gmx, you must ensure that all of the constituent residues 
have all the necessary atoms and they are named exactly how the force field 
expects them to be named.  You will have to fix whatever inconsistencies there 
are between your .pdb file and what the force field expects.
