Is the input structure really a good one (point "(1)" above)? How big is it?
If you have resp charges, you don't really need bond types, and occasionally
antehcamber will be unable to assign bond types to a good structure. But
the messages suggest that it is possible that the molecule is either too big
for this sort of calculation, or in some way is not a "standard" closed-shell
organic molecule. If you cannot figure it out, you will probably have to post
an input structure (either as pdb [preferable] or as gout as you have above.

...good luck...dac
