Ok, I can reproduce this locally. The cause is incorrect compiler flags. 
Basically one must use `pkg-config --cflags protobuf` to get the correct 
CFLAGS and `pkg-config --libs protobuf` for the correct libraries.

Most likely one or both of the following were missing during the 
compilation/linking of ISIS: -D_THREAD_SAFE -pthread
