Used to capture packets by the `dns' plugin.

- * libpcre (optional)
- Used by the `filter_pcre' plugin.

* libperl (optional)
Obviously used by the `perl' plugin. The library has to be compiled with
ithread support (introduced in Perl 5.6.0).
that the compiled binary actually behaves as it should, but since NANs
are likely never passed to the libm you have a good chance to be lucky.
+ Likewise, collectd needs to know the layout of doubles in memory, in order
+ to craft uniform network packets over different architectures. For this, it
+ needs to know how to convert doubles into the memory layout used by x86. The
+ configure script tries to figure this out by compiling and running a few
+ small test programs. This is of course not possible when cross-compiling.
+ You can use the `--with-fp-layout' option to tell the configure script which
+ conversion method to assume. Valid arguments are:
+
+ * `nothing' (12345678 -> 12345678)
+ * `endianflip' (12345678 -> 87654321)
+ * `intswap' (12345678 -> 56781234)
