Atomicorp

Hi all,

I have MySQL installed from the atomic repository on a CentOS 5.6 box, and I discovered it doesn't have support for the FEDERATED storage engine - trying to enable it reports that --federated is an unknown option. This seems strange to me, and I haven't seen any other similar complaints for recent versions, so I'm wondering if I've got some configuration wrong. Should the atomic repo MySQL packages have FEDERATED support, and if not, is it possible to get it using the atomic repository? These are the MySQL packages I have installed:

mysql-libs-5.1.58-2.el5.art
mysql-devel-5.1.58-2.el5.art
mysql-devel-5.1.58-2.el5.art
mysqlclient15-5.0.90-1.el5.art
php-mysql-5.3.8-1.el5.art
mysql-libs-5.1.58-2.el5.art
mysql-server-5.1.58-2.el5.art
mysql-5.1.58-2.el5.art
perl-DBD-mysql-4.014-1.el5.rf
mysql-5.1.58-2.el5.art

Thanks in advance

It looks like most, if not all, RPM builds of mysql leave it turned off

1. You can install from source and it will work
2. You could get the srpm and compile yourself
