[AMBER] error: mask from topology files!

Dear Amber community members,
Thanks Jason for a prompt help with the tutorial. I could use the new file
successfully.

I'm now trying the same tutorial procedure on my target protein and ligand.
Here I'm getting a different kind of error which is given below. I could not
understand what it exactly means and how could I fix it.

Please find time and see if you could help me with same.

The error is as follows:
---------------
[vaibhav.localhost MMPBSA]$ $AMBERHOME/bin/MMPBSA.py -O -i
mmpbsa_2b.inFINAL_RESULTS_MMPBSA.dat -sp 2PRG_rosi_solvated.prmtop -cp
2PRG_rosi_NW.prmtop -rp 2PRG_nolig.prmtop -lp rosi.prmtop -y *.mdcrd
ptraj found! Using /home/vaibhav/software/amber10/exe/ptraj
sander found! Using /home/vaibhav/software/amber10/exe/sander (serial only!)
Assuming /home/vaibhav/software/amber10/exe/sander is part of
amber9 or amber10. Using old PB input file.
Error: Could not predict mask from topology files! Make sure ligand residues
are
sequential or specify receptor_mask and ligand_mask in the input file.
NOTE: All files have been retained for debugging purposes. Type MMPBSA.py
--clean to erase these files.
[vaibhav.localhost MMPBSA]$ pwd
/home/vaibhav/vaibhav/amber/2PRG/rosi/MMPBSA
[vaibhav.localhost MMPBSA]$
