The problem apparently comes from missing BONDS header in the parameter
file. I looked up the supporting info from the link you provided and I
saw that all the parameter section headers are commented out. You should
remove the exclamation mark (which is a comment character in CHARMM
files) in front of BONDS, ANGLES, DIHEDRALS and NONBONDED headers in
your par file.
I am not sure OOM but I believe that also every section should be ended
with an empty line and that there should and END line at the end of file.
Cheers,
Pawel
