The debian packages are built with XInput support, so GTK+ programs
using them need to be linked with -lXi. Actually, they are also (I
thought) are built with shared library dependencies, so I'm a little
surprised you're having this problem. In any case, using gtk-config
will solve the problem. (See docs/gtk-config.txt, and/or the beginning
of the tutorial.)

Just use gtk-config. It will give you the correct -I flags.
