What i m doing wrong? any hint?

I don't think there is an inkscape-devel package.

On Debian based distros you can bring in compilation dependencies with:

apt-get build-dep inkscape

However you need deb-src sources for that to work, as explained in another recent thread.

See also here about how to set up deb-src sources: https://askubuntu.com/questions/496549/error-you-must-put-some-source-uris-i...
