[collectd] more on collectd with gmond

[Raymond Flanery]

Sebastian,

I have cleaned all instances of collectd from the system and started 
from scratch with version 4.10.0. I have ganglia 3.1.2 installed on my 
cluster and on the same host I am installing collectd on. When I compile 
collectd I do not get any compile time errors that I can see, and 
gmond.so gets created.

I can run collectd fine without the gmond plugin. everything looks 
correct at that point. When I edit the collectd.conf file and turn on 
gmond this changes. executing 'collectd -f' returns the same error as 
before:

sbin/collectd: symbol lookup error: /opt/collectd/lib/collectd/gmond.so: 
undefined symbol: xdr_Ganglia_msg_formats
