I could be wrong, but I believe the README has old info and needs an update.
I'm not aware of any groupchat.xml file and I think all need config info is
now kept in jserver.xml

FWIW- the way I got things working (after make/install of groupchat) is:

jserver.xml entry of-
    <agent jid="gc.penguin.wh.lucent.com">
      <name>GroupChat</name>
      <description>PENGUIN groupchat</description>
      <service>privatechat</service>
      <groupchat/>
      <register/>
    </agent>

and startup groupchat using:
  /usr/local/bin/groupchat -D -s xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx gc.penguin.wh.lucent.com &
Usage:
groupchat [-D] [-e 127.0.0.1] [-s secret] groupchat.hostname


Hope that helps
