Comment (by ryandesign):
Fixed the immediate problems, but this software is old. The latest version
is from 2005. There are a lot of warnings when compiling, some of which
might be concerning. There's been no response from the developer(s) to
several longstanding bug reports. Someone has left a comment on the
[https://sourceforge.net/projects/cryptcat/ SourceForge project page] back
in 2014 saying this software should not be used because its cryptography
is bad, to which the developer(s) have not responded. I can't verify that
claim, but the use of any cryptography software this old is probably not
advisable.
