So, on line 294 of testel.c, did you write

        strcat(string1, &ips1[i]);

or did you write

        string1 = strcat(string1, &ips1[i]);

I suspect you wrote

        string1 = strcat(string1, &ips1[i]);

in which case you made a mistake, and the compiler correctly told you so 
- you cannot assign a "char *", which is what the return value of 
strcat() is, to an array.

You need to write just

        strcat(string1, &ips1[i]);

with no assignment.
