As for any molecule you want to have in your topology, you need an appropriate [ molecule ] section in your .top file, or to #include one from somewhere else. grompp isn't finding any definition for SOL compatible with amber99. Look around your .top file, and then in gromacs/share/top to see where TIP5P might be found. If you don't understand the #define and #ifdef mechanisms you'll see then google for how cpp (inside grompp) treats these. > Also, actually, I want to do the simulation with tip3p.

IIRC the man page of genbox points out that TIP3P is topologically identical with SPC, so you can use the spc???.gro file for it.
