Then something is wrong with the way you've done it, because the job of spc.itp 
is to define the [moleculetype] SOL and all its relevant parameters.

You need a parent force field that defines all the bonded and nonbonded 
interactions in the system.  Whether or not this is one that comes with Gromacs 
or one you design yourself, you still have to satisfy all of the internal 
mechanics (see Chapter 5).  Whether or not there is a protein is completely 
irrelevant; force fields do much more than just proteins.

Well, PRODRG parameters are pretty low-quality anyway, but it's a convenient 
example for doing a tutorial rather than trying to teach people how to use other 
external software ;)
