I wanted to go step by step. I first tried to address the errors 1, 2 and
3. So I added the following dihedrals to ffbonded.itp.

For Error1:
HC     CT     CT     NA      3     -4.09614   5.08775   2.96645  -3.95806 
 0.00000   0.00000
from:
 HC     CT     CT     NT      3     -4.09614   5.08775   2.96645  -3.95806
  0.00000   0.00000 ; amine all-atom

For Error2
OH     CT     CT     NA      3      9.89307  -4.71746   3.67774  -8.85335 
 0.00000   0.00000
from:
N3     CT_2   CT     OH      3      9.89307  -4.71746   3.67774  -8.85335 
 0.00000   0.00000 ; Chi for Ser & Thr

For Error3
CT     OS     CT     NA      3     -5.23000   7.32200   6.27600  -8.36800 
 0.00000   0.00000
from:
CT     OS     CT     N       3     -5.23000   7.32200   6.27600  -8.36800 
 0.00000   0.00000 ; (From wildcard) imidazoles, indoles, purines

I expected this to remove the errors 1, 2 and 3. I took care to keep the
atomtypes order the same. But this doesn't seem to affect the result. I
get the same errors. Any ideas??
