> what kind of emb system are u using?

Our team is developing a custom board called "mrdig", part of the 
Copperfield-2 system.  mrdig is a compact PCI board with a PowerQuicc 
processor and bi Xilinx FPGA.  We're lead by Chris Huffine at the U.S. Naval 
Research Laboratory in Washington, D.C.  The hardware is developed by 
Aeronix, Inc.

Our project was on the April 2005 cover of Linux Journal, called "Shell 
Scripts in Space."  Multiples of the board are used in the Tacsat-1 and 
Tacsat-2 satellites (both still awaiting launch.)  Although the firmware for 
those systems is frozen and it's too late for collectd-in-space, I'm adding 
it to the current development image for Copperfield-2 products, and 
considering using the collectd/rrdtool tools and data formats for 
telemetry-gathering.

I'm using gcc 3.3.3 as supplied in the Denx developer's distribution. 
ppl-linux-gcc -v reports:

I'm building collectd-3.4.0.tar.gz.

I don't think that libltdl is being used  in that version.

Yep, fixed me right up.. thanks.
