I know, I always seem to spell Inkscape as inkspace. :(

I install all my OSS software in /opt.

Here is the config.h:

No, there are no official 64-bit builds at the moment.

There is a reference to /opt/inkscape in configure.ac, but your log
mentions "/opt/inkspace", reproducing the typo you've made in the name
of the build directory. At the moment I'm not sure where this comes
from. It could help if you could send a copy of the config.h generated
by Autotools.
