Cannot load perl plugin

[sixstone]

Binary package hint: collectd

Collectd refuses to load perl plugin in Ubuntu Server Lucid 10.04. Version: 4.8.2-1

Steps to reproduce:

1) Enable perl plugin by editing /etc/collectd/collectd.conf
LoadPlugin perl
2) Restart collectd using /etc/init.d/collectd restart
Can't load '/usr/lib/perl5/auto/threads/threads.so' for module threads: /usr/lib/perl5/auto/threads/threads.so: undefined symbol: PL_no_mem at /usr/lib/perl/5.10/XSLoader.pm line 70.
 at /usr/lib/perl5/threads.pm line 32
Compilation failed in require at /usr/share/perl5/Collectd.pm line 27.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/share/perl5/Collectd.pm line 27.
Compilation failed in require.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted.

There is a known issue explained in [1] how to fix it.

I workaround it by exporting LD_PRELOAD environment variable to collectd binary as follows:

LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libperl.so.5.10 collectd -C /etc/collectd/collectd.conf
