Ok, I figured out the problem. I was using
> source leaprc.ff99
but when I changed it to
> source leaprc.rna.ff99
everything was solved.
But there is something strange happening, which I could not understand.
When my RC.pdb file was the following;

xleap was adding two atoms, HO'2 and and O2'. When the .pdb file was in
primed notation (with 's rather *s), xleap did not give any error.
Moreover, when I used the following command in xleap to create the pdb
files
> savepdb RC rc.pdb
xleap was creating a file 'rc.pdb' with the star notation. I checked out
the leaprc.ff99 file, and in that file the 'all_nucleic94.lib' library is
used for nucleic acids. And in that library, the primed notation is used.
How can xleap create a file with starred notation if that residue is
defined in primed notation? I first thought that xleap does not care
whether it is a * or ', and would realize that it is the sugar part. But
as I described above, there are some strange things happening. I think
there is a bug with this.
I think the answer to the first question lies in the atommapping. In the
leaprc.ff99 file, there is a part which is as follows:
addPdbAtomMap {
{ "O5*" "O5'" }
{ "C5*" "C5'" }
{ "C4*" "C4'" }
{ "O4*" "O4'" }
{ "C3*" "C3'" }
{ "O3*" "O3'" }
{ "C2*" "C2'" }
{ "C1*" "C1'" }
{ "C5M" "C7" }
{ "H1*" "H1'" }
{ "H2*1" "H2'1" }
{ "H2*2" "H2'2" }
{ "H3*" "H3'" }
{ "H4*" "H4'" }
{ "H5*1" "H5'1" }
{ "H5*2" "H5'2" }
# old ff atom names -> new
{ "O1'" "O4'" }
{ "OA" "O1P" }
{ "OB" "O2P" }
}
If initially the .pdb file has 2HO* and O2*, they arent gonna be mapped to
any atom in the library. So, the library will create those atoms (2HO' and
O2'). Adding these atoms to the above atommapping might solve it. But I
still do not know why the 'savepdb RC rc.pdb' creates sugar atoms with
starred notation.
