I don't use collectd or CentOS, but i'm happy to help you debug:

what output do you get from:

 readelf -s /opt/collectd/lib/collectd/network.so | grep md_hash

 ldd /opt/collectd/lib/collectd/network.so | grep gcry

 readelf -s /usr/lib/libgcrypt.so.11 | grep md_hash

?

when i install debian's packaged collectd 4.9.1-2 on a testing system, i
see this on the equivalent files:

i think these three lines of output mean:

 /usr/lib/collectd/network.so expects to see
gcry_md_hash_bufer at GCRYPT1.2 in some library that it will load (it is
undefined internally, hence the "UND")

 /usr/lib/collectd/network.so expects to load libgcrypt.so.11, which the
dynamic linker finds in /usr/lib

 /usr/lib/libgcrypt.so.11 contains a defined symbol
gcry_md_hash_bufer at GCRYPT1.2

maybe one of these doesn't line up for you somehow?
