Clearly not, or you wouldn't have an error.

Based on what I see above, there is something weird in the residue name, but it 
doesn't correspond to what you've posted previously, so I don't know what to 
believe.  The atom name column is misaligned, but I don't know if that will 
cause a problem.

Combining the .gro files is very easy:

1. cat protein.gro drg.gro > complex.gro
2. Remove the unnecessary box vectors, title line, and atom count in the middle 
of the file.
3. Increment the number of atoms on the second line of complex.gro to reflect 
the proper number of atoms.

All of that assumes, of course, that both the protein and ligand are in the same 
box, such that the box vectors at the end of drg.gro are applicable to the 
protein, as well.
