Hi,

Thanks guys.... It is a bit painful to go through all dependencies

compilation terminated.
make[1]: *** [fake_configure_notify.o] Error 1
make: *** [libi3/libi3.a] Error 2

But installing all I could think of (xcb-proto libxcb1 libxcb1-dev
libxcb-util0 libxcb-util0-dev), and still nothing...

Looking at packages.debian.org and searching for "file in
package" will give

libxcb-keysyms1-dev

for stable. I always resort to this webpage, if apt-cache search
does not help me.

HTH,

Alternatively you can install apt-file, which does the same job.
