So you need to deal with all of this. Presumably you are not using the 
right atom type for formyl C,H,O atoms, or there aren't such, or 
something. Those indices above are relative to the output topol.top, not 
the .rtp. You need to do some homework on what CHARMM36 has in it... 
scan atomtypes.atp for a start. Or use acetyl like a normal person. :-)
