as you see federated engine is not one of the list. i need to enable it!! any idea of why BLACKHOLE, FEDERATED, and ARCHIVE engines are missing from the list? and how can i add/enable them?
EDIT
I have ubuntu 11.10 and installed mysql from ppa ... i have added the following to /etc/apt/sources.list

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/nathan-renniewaldock/ppa/ubuntu oneiric main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/nathan-renniewaldock/ppa/ubuntu oneiric main

我设法找到一个解决方案...
有一个插件已经可以在
/usr/lib/mysql/plugin/ha_federated.so
我刚登录到MySQL作为根目录并运行下面的查询 mysql>install plugin federated soname 'ha_federated.so';
，然后我加入联合到my.cnf文件并重新启动mysql的
