Welcome to the Valley, Kevin. :)
The problem you describe is most likely due to missing dependencies.
Sorcery itself supports full dependency ordering, but that only works
in so far as the packages themselves describe the correct
dependencies. :) So if you do run into this problem please file bugs
about which packages are missing which dependencies. Usually looking
at the compile log of the failed spell is enough, as it's something
like, "Cannot find -lX11", meaning there's no X installed yet. ;) Or
just include the compile log and we'll figure it out.
Be sure to ask if you have any questions and we'll do our best to help
you out.
Thanks!
