 I still get exactly the same error with this change.
 
 I found the actual cause higher up in the config.log. It is attempting
 to link with libdl which isn't available on NetBSD.
 
 Here's the relevant piece:
 
 configure:21460: checking for GC_malloc in -lgc
 configure:21490: c++ -o conftest -O2 -I/usr/pkg/include -I/usr/include
 -I/usr/pk g/include/freetype2 -I/usr/pkg/include -I/usr/include
 -I/usr/pkg/include/freetyp e2 -L/usr/pkg/lib -Wl,-R/usr/pkg/lib
 -L/usr/lib -Wl,-R/usr/lib -L/usr/X11R6/lib -Wl,-R/usr/X11R6/lib
 conftest.cc -lgc -lpthread -ldl  -lintl >&5 ld: cannot find -ldl
 configure:21496: $? = 1
 
 P.S. Sorry for calling it inkspace rather than inkscape, I always seem
 to make that typo
