more heme troubles

Hi everyone:

 I'm getting an error when I start an NAMD run, having to do with the
5-coordinate heme cofactor in my system. The simulation works fine with
the solvated apo-protein. I built the heme protein using the topology
file top_all27_prot_lipid.inp and appears to look OK (in VMD) in a box of
water with a few counter-ions to neutralize the charge. The error I get
from NAMD is:

 ------------- Processor 0 Exiting: Called CmiAbort ------------
Reason: FATAL ERROR: CAN'T FIND BOND PARAMETERS FOR BOND C - CPB IN
PARAMETER FILES

Fatal error on PE 0> FATAL ERROR: CAN'T FIND BOND PARAMETERS FOR BOND C -
CPB IN PARAMETER FILES

Within the PSF for my system, here are the relevant lines:

    1643 H 719 HEME C2A CPB -0.060000 12.0110 0
    1644 H 719 HEME C3A CPB -0.060000 12.0110 0
    1645 H 719 HEME C4A CPA 0.120000 12.0110 0
    1646 H 719 HEME C1B CPA 0.120000 12.0110 0
    1647 H 719 HEME C2B CPB -0.060000 12.0110 0
    1648 H 719 HEME C3B CPB -0.060000 12.0110 0
    1649 H 719 HEME C4B CPA 0.120000 12.0110 0
    1650 H 719 HEME C1C CPA 0.120000 12.0110 0
    1651 H 719 HEME C2C CPB -0.060000 12.0110 0
    1652 H 719 HEME C3C CPB -0.060000 12.0110 0
    1653 H 719 HEME C4C CPA 0.120000 12.0110 0
    1654 H 719 HEME C1D CPA 0.120000 12.0110 0
    1655 H 719 HEME C2D CPB -0.060000 12.0110 0
    1656 H 719 HEME C3D CPB -0.060000 12.0110 0

the parameter file I'm using is par_all22_prot.inp which I checked, and it
does seem to have 6-coordinate heme entries.

 Looks as if something is not named correctly...is there an
incompatibility between these topology and parameter files? Do I need to
rename or alias some atoms?

  Thanks for your help.
