[users at i-scream] libstatgrab issues on Solaris 10 x64

[Scott Severtson]

All,
We're just getting started with libstatgrab as part of a CollectD 
installation, and have run into a problem with 0.17 on Solaris 10 x64.

The project builds successfully using GCC, and installs cleanly. The 
"statgrab" binary appears to function without errors, and returns 
appropriate and correct metrics.

However, when attempting to compile a very simple C program against 
libstatgrab, we get a large number of undefined symbols. Here's the 
simple test program (extracted/simplified from CollectD's configure script):

int sg_init ();

int main ()
{
   return sg_init ();
}

And here's the GCC invocation/output:
# gcc -o conftest -O3 -m64 -march=athlon64 
-I/apps/collectd-5.1.0/include   -L/apps/collectd-5.1.0/lib -lstatgrab

The "ldd" utility shows that libstatgrab.so is only linking against a 
couple libraries:
# ldd lib/libstatgrab.so
         libc.so.1 =>     /lib/64/libc.so.1
         libgcc_s.so.1 =>         /usr/sfw/lib/64/libgcc_s.so.1
         libm.so.2 =>     /lib/64/libm.so.2

Including lazy references results in the same list of missing symbols as 
GCC/ld specifies:
# ldd -r lib/libstatgrab.so
         libc.so.1 =>     /lib/64/libc.so.1
         libgcc_s.so.1 =>         /usr/sfw/lib/64/libgcc_s.so.1
         symbol not found: kstat_open            (./libstatgrab.so)
         symbol not found: kstat_read            (./libstatgrab.so)
         symbol not found: kstat_close           (./libstatgrab.so)
         symbol not found: kstat_lookup          (./libstatgrab.so)
         symbol not found: kstat_data_lookup             (./libstatgrab.so)
         symbol not found: socket                (./libstatgrab.so)
         symbol not found: di_init               (./libstatgrab.so)
         symbol not found: di_drv_first_node             (./libstatgrab.so)
         symbol not found: di_minor_next         (./libstatgrab.so)
         symbol not found: di_instance           (./libstatgrab.so)
         symbol not found: di_devfs_path         (./libstatgrab.so)
         symbol not found: di_minor_name         (./libstatgrab.so)
         symbol not found: di_devfs_path_free            (./libstatgrab.so)
         symbol not found: di_drv_next_node              (./libstatgrab.so)
         symbol not found: di_fini               (./libstatgrab.so)
         libm.so.2 =>     /lib/64/libm.so.2

However, "ldd" on the statgrab binary shows many more linked libraries:
# ldd bin/statgrab
         libstatgrab.so.6 =>      /apps/collectd-5.1.0/lib/libstatgrab.so.6
         libkstat.so.1 =>         /lib/64/libkstat.so.1
         libdevinfo.so.1 =>       /lib/64/libdevinfo.so.1
         libsocket.so.1 =>        /lib/64/libsocket.so.1
         libnsl.so.1 =>   /lib/64/libnsl.so.1
         libc.so.1 =>     /lib/64/libc.so.1
         libgcc_s.so.1 =>         /usr/sfw/lib/64/libgcc_s.so.1
         libnvpair.so.1 =>        /lib/64/libnvpair.so.1
         libsec.so.1 =>   /lib/64/libsec.so.1
         libgen.so.1 =>   /lib/64/libgen.so.1
         libmp.so.2 =>    /lib/64/libmp.so.2
         libmd.so.1 =>    /lib/64/libmd.so.1
         libscf.so.1 =>   /lib/64/libscf.so.1
         libavl.so.1 =>   /lib/64/libavl.so.1
         libdoor.so.1 =>  /lib/64/libdoor.so.1
         libuutil.so.1 =>         /lib/64/libuutil.so.1
         libm.so.2 =>     /lib/64/libm.so.2

Does anyone understand why the statgrab binary has appropriate linking 
in place, but libstatgrab.so does not? Are there any configuration flags 
or environment variables I could include to enable/enforce correct linking?

Many thanks,
