pminfo works and pmcd is running. Ok thanks for your help and I'll let Ubuntu folks know.

Hmm, strange - that symbol should be coming from /usr/lib[64]/libpcp.so,
its always been there (since day 1 in pcp). ÂDoes anything work in the
PCP install there? Â(like "pminfo", and/or is pmcd running? - they also
use that symbol)

I assume they're working - if so looks like a linkage error in the way
the perl interfaces were built, perhaps?

If thats the case, I recommend building from source yourself I guess (and
reporting the issue to the Ubuntu folks) - the latest release is a good,
stable version to use (pcp-3.9.4 on www.performancecopilot.org downloads
area, or the git tree).

cheers.
