Yes thats normal because there is some "require" of other libraries in
these config files.If you have not these lisp files in your load-path,
it will fail.However, you can just to comment out the sources unneeded
in the Sources section (easy to reach if you use eev-mode ==> M-e from index).

I will add today at the beginning of my config
(AnythingConfigThierryVolpiatto.el)
all what is needed to make it working. ;)

At this day with emacs23, all the Sources i wrote in AnythingSources 
are working fine.They are both in my config file and AnythingSources but
the ones you will find in my config file are more up to date.

Rubikitch config is really nice but need a lot of extra dependencies
(some time not compatible for us e.g migemo .. etc..)

There is now also the config of AndyStewart (anything-extensions.el)
that seem to be a selection of differents sources found on
AnythingSources.
