The error says which one: libXi.so

If you get the Contents-alpha.gz file from the ftp sites:

$ zgrep libXi.so Contents-alpha.gz
./usr/X11R6/lib/libXi.so x11/xlib6g-dev
./usr/X11R6/lib/libXi.so.6 x11/xlib6g
./usr/X11R6/lib/libXi.so.6.0 x11/xlib6g

So you need to install the xlib6g-dev package (if necessary that will
pull in the xlib6g package, but in this case you'll already have that).
