undefined symbol: _ZN6google8protobuf8internal13empty_string_E

I try to use the bap-pintrace.
After following the instructions from this git, I run into this problem:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/canicula/local/lib/ ; pin -injection child -t obj-intel64/gentrace.so -o exec.frames -logall_before 1 -- /bin/ls
E: Unable to load /home/canicula/work/gentool/bap-pintraces/obj-intel64/gentrace.so: /home/canicula/work/gentool/bap-pintraces/obj-intel64/gentrace.so: undefined symbol: _ZNK6google8protobuf7Message11GetTypeNameB5cxx11Ev

The demangled symobl is "google::protobuf::Message::GetTypeNameabi:cxx11 const
"
it seems that this is a compiler issue.
I'm using g++-4.9 from Ubuntu 16.04 amd64 version.
4.4.0-79-generic #100-Ubuntu SMP Wed May 17 19:58:14 UTC 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
The google protobuf is compiled using g++-4.9 as well.

Any way to solve this issue?

Using the default protobuf from ubuntu 16.04 will produce the following errors:

E: Unable to load /home/canicula/work/gentool/bap-pintraces/obj-intel64/gentrace.so: /home/canicula/work/gentool/bap-pintraces/obj-intel64/gentrace.so: undefined symbol: _ZN6google8protobuf8internal13empty_string_E

This time the g++ compiler is g++4.4.

But g++4.4 fails to compile the protobuf library from github

The symptoms show that your code was compiled with one version of ф library, and is dynamically linked with another. If you're using the precompiled binaries, then it might be the problem, as they were compiled on Trusty (14.04), for a specific version of protobufs/libc++/etc. Yeah, the DLL hell as it is. Probably, the easiest solution would be to build everything from scratch.
