The warning comes from some parts of your structure not having
charges assigned in the input files that VMD (and later APBS) are
being provided. One way to check how many atoms lack charge in VMD
is do to something like this:
set sel [atomselect top "charge == 0"]
$sel num
That will tell you how many atoms are uncharged...
Cheers,
