Hi,

I can confirm this problem.

The missing reference can be found in

  $ strings /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libXi.so.6 | grep XISelectEvents
  XISelectEvents

so I added -lXi explicitly as well as added libxi6 to Build-Depends.
However, this ended up in

  /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lXi

so I suspected that it is not found automatically by ld in the multiarch
dir for whatever reason and thus I also added this explicitly so the
line looks like

g++  -g -O2 -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -Wformat -Werror=format-security  -Wl,-z,relro -L/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu -L/usr/lib -o maqview read_cache.o view_goto.o view_p

uncompr.o zutil.o -Wl,-Bstatic -lglut -Wl,-Bdynamic -lGL -lGLU -lm -lX11 -lXi
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lXi
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status


As you see my suspicion to add the multiarch dir has not helped.  Any
other hint?

Kind regards

      Andreas.
