Did the makecat finish OK? - makecat should have finished with a message
something like "You are now ready to run your catalog, please put
something in your cron to expire old session stuff." (I forgot the exact
message but it is something like that...) 
Are you using UNIX mode or INET mode?
When you started IC right after makecat, did it build the database OK?
Take a look at your catalog error.log, and the IC error.log Let us know
what is says.
