This error message seems pretty straightforward. One of the atoms in
your ligand residue is assigned a type that is missing a set of
parameters.

Somehow one of the hydrogen atoms in your Lysine 948 residue was
assigned an atom name H2. There is no atom named H2 in the Lysine
residue according to the PDB standard (and the residue template
libraries that LEaP loads by default). You can either delete that atom
from the PDB and let tleap add the hydrogens automatically or you can
change that atom name to the one that tleap understands (you can find
the atom names in $AMBERHOME/dat/leap/lib/amino12.lib).

I recommend working through the tutorials related to setting up custom
residues (http://ambermd.org/tutorials/basic/tutorial4b/)

In the future when you are reporting problems, it helps to provide
details about your entire input (full input files and scripts you used).
In this case, it would help to know _every_ command you used in leap,
not just "saveAmberParm" since the mistake is often not in the command
that resulted in the error.

Good luck,
Jason
