[Bug 378200] Re: collectd's sensor plugin not loading

[Barry Kolts]

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: collectd
  
  lsb_release -rd
  Description:	Ubuntu 8.04.2
  Release:	8.04
  
  uname -a
  Linux wu 2.6.24-23-server #1 SMP Wed Apr 1 22:14:30 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux
  
  apt-cache policy collectd
  collectd:
    Installed: 4.3.0-1
    Candidate: 4.3.0-1
    Version table:
   *** 4.3.0-1 0
          500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com hardy/universe Packages
          100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
  
  Problem:
  collectd -t -C /etc/collectd/collectd.conf
  lt_dlopen failed: libsensors.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
  Unable to load plugin sensors.
  
  locate sensors.so
  /usr/lib/libsensors.so.4
  /usr/lib/libsensors.so.4.0.0
  /usr/lib/collectd/sensors.so
  
  Collectd is looking for libsensors.so.3 but libsensors.so.4 is installed
  on this machine with lm-sensors so the sensors plugin does not work. It
  does not create a sensors directory in the RRD directory so it doesn't
  collect any statistics
  
  Please contact me if you need some more information.
  
  Thanks,
  Barry

+ Updated information:
+ 
+ Upon further investigation I discovered on my 32 bit Hardy I have both
+ libsensors.so.3 and libsensors.so.4
+ 
+ uname -a
+ Linux test-server 2.6.24-16-generic #1 SMP Thu Apr 10 13:23:42 UTC 2008 i586 GNU/Linux
+ 
+ lsb_release -rb
+ Description:	Ubuntu 8.04.2
+ Release:	8.04
+ 
+ locate sensors.so
+ /usr/lib/libsensors.so.3
+ /usr/lib/libsensors.so.3.1.4
+ /usr/lib/libsensors.so.4
+ /usr/lib/libsensors.so.4.0.0
+ /usr/lib/collectd/sensors.so
+ 
+ Apparently my 32 bit, which started out at version 8.04 and upgraded to
+ 8.04.2, updated to libsensors.so.4 and my 64 bit which started at
+ version 8.04.2 never had libsensors.so.3.
+ 
+ So is it possibly to have the package updated to a newer version of
+ collectd? If possibly could collectd be upgraded to a version that
+ includes the Notify Email plugin? According to collectd website Notfiy
+ Email was introduced in version 4.5. I realize I could compile the
+ newest version myself but I prefer to use deb packges for Ubuntu to keep
+ things 'tidy'. Unfortunately I am still new enough at this that I don't
+ know how to make my own deb packages yet.
+ 
+ Thanks,
+ Barry
