Are we to assume that you're following the GROMOS96+Berger approach from my 
tutorial?  If you are, lipid.itp should not be used (directly) and any reference 
to CA (which is a GROMOS87 atom type and thus is not part of GROMOS96, hence the 
error) should be removed.  If you're following my tutorial, follow it more 
closely and you'll get a working force field.
