Hi.

Please, could you tell me how did you fixed the plugin? I've tried to do
this looking inside readcharmmtop.tcl file but my TCL was not enough to
perform this task.

Cheers

If a comment has a ". in it, it causes an error.  I fixed the plugin to not get caught on this, but in the short term one can just remove the offending ". from the topology file.
