DPPC membrane

Dear NAMD Users:
 
 
 I am trying to run a simulation of DPPC lipid bilayer with a cationic peptide.
 
I got a DPPC pre equilibrated membrane from LIPIDBOOK (http://lipidbook.bioch.ox.ac.uk). I want to run my simulations using that pdb file.
I tried to get the corresponding pdf file using AUTOMATIC PSF BULIDER from VMD, but there is a problem with some residues:
                         "unknown residue type SOL
                          unknown residue type DPPC"

I also tried using the following TCL script:
 
 
set membrana [mol load pdb membrana.pdb]
set mem [atomselect $membrana all]
$mem writepdb mem_1.pdb
 resetpsf
 package require psfgen
 topology top_all27_prot_lipid.rtf
 segment U {pdb mem_1.pdb}
 pdbalias residue HOH TIP3
 pdbalias atom ILE CD1 CD
 coordpdb mem_1.pdb U
 guesscoord
 writepdb dppc.pdb
 writepsf dppc.psf
 
And I had the same problem:
 
"unknown residue type SOL
extracted 5969 residues from pdb file
Info: generating structure...
unknown residue type DPP
ERROR: failed on end of segment
MOLECULE DESTROYED BY FATAL ERROR! Use resetpsf to start over."
 
The original pdf file is:

Does anybody know how to solve it?
 

I wait that someone can help me with this.
 
Thanks for your help.
