I suspect that some libraries are missing for compilation, but which ones I cannot know. There was no readme file, and I don't often come across assembly from source. How to install i3wm v 4.9 on Ubuntu 14.10 from https://github.com/i3/i3 sources?

install the xcb-util-keysyms library. And since bubunta is characterized by increased idiocy, this package can be called, say, xcb-util-keysyms-devel.
