No, those are properly set.

And no, I did not delete the first line.

And no again.

Mine says,
$config['site']['name'] = 'WFTL-onica';
$config['site']['server'] = 'microblog.wftl-lug.org';

Mine is 5447 bytes. I took that code directly from the Google site as per the 
installation instructions. Not meaning to criticize Decafbad's installation 
notes (we certainly need some), but I nevertheless suspect the install 
documentation may to be blame at this point. You say:

Perhaps those 'depends' should all be part of the Laconica source distribution 
so that everything works as expected. 

I used the code pulled from darcs, as per the decafbad notes, including the 
Google XMPP code. What that says to me is we seriously need an installation 
document on the Laconica site that follows all the code changes and 
incorporates those changes into the documentation. The first line on the Wiki, 
under installation, is to visit 

    http://decafbad.com/blog/2008/07/03/getting-laconica-up-and-running

Which  is what I did. 

Thanks for the feedback.
