The -l option takes the name of the library as the argument so in this case the library would be named libXi.a (or libXi.so or something similar). To find the library look in the standard library locations (/usr/lib, /lib, /usr/local/lib, etc.) available in your distribution. There may also be additional library directories specified using the -L option to the linker.
