It appears that there is some problem with your X installation.
The -lXi library (for XInput - i.e., graphics tablet - support)
should have been installed as part of the xlib6g-dev package.
If the file /usr/X11R6/lib/libXi.so is not on your system,
you might want to try reinstalling or upgrading your X
libraries.
