I started my Wheezy as a minimal install, too.  But ...

Did you set up the Debian repositories?

After which, did you do an "apt-get update" and "apt-get upgrade"?

Then, "apt-get install xserver-xorg-core" and "apt-get install xinit"?

Then install whatever GUI metapackage you want?  For example: "apt-get
install xfce4"  will install xfce4. Or "apt-get install gnome". Or
"apt-get install lxde".

Always read the manual first. I do.  You'll have a lot less problems.
