I think this is due to your problems above. If not, the next step would be to look at config.log which you should mail me (not the list!) in case the remedies above did not make a difference.

Are there any special options to ldconfig that I didn't specify with ldconfig ? I would appreciate your help in this respect.
As I already said, the manual page (man ldconfig) is pretty good. If you don't have time for reading you should stick to inkscape binaries, really!
