Dear Morteza;

In addition to what Francois mentioned, I remember that I had similar experience with resp and R.E.D. script and eventually the problem was from the maxq, maxlgr and maxmol values in the "$AMBERHOME/AmberTools/src/etc/limits.h". You may need to increase the those values and reconfigure. 
I hope this will help.

In general one derives RESP charge values for small molecules; charges 
for biopolymers are obtained from the repetition of molecular 
fragments...
Moreover I am not sure how is treated chemical equivalencing in this 
type of large molecular systems; I guess it is simply not considered 
making the approach even more suspicious; just my personal opinion ;-)

If you want to derive RESP charges and build force field libraries for 
molecular fragments you might be interested by R.E.D. Server; see 
tutorials:

regards, Francois
