We would clearly need more information than this to be of much help: what
machine? does your version pass the test suite? what was the command line you
used? what was the input (pdb?) file?

If you have "ordinary" RNA nucleotides, then the charges are assigned from
a library in LEaP.
If you want the "automated" esp charges available from
antechamber, you need Gaussian (there's some recent stuff in the e-mail
archives with examples). The Amber web page has pointers to using GAMESS
(I beleive), and some people have tried Jaguar.
If you want the Am1-BCC charges, you would need a version of mopac (or
AMSOL) to do semiempirical calcs. The Users' Manual (installation section)
suggests places you can get these programs from.
