EDIT: Success! The build completed and appears to be running well.

I am not completely clear on what my errors were but following the advice of @flamber I started from scratch and installed the latest for all of the necessary software. I hit a memory error with my 1GB droplet. I expanded to a 4GB droplet and the build completed without issue.
