ha_federatedx.so plugin not in library

Hi,

I'm using Mariadb 5.5 (which it says should come with FederatedX) but it's not in the plugin library (show plugins) or in the lib directory. Is there a way to add that file to the library using rpm or yum? I've googled but all the advice seems to be how to install the plugin from the library, rather than what to do if it's missing from the library.

Help?

5.5 from MariaDB should have had FederatedX statically compiled, so are you sure SHOW PLUGINS doesn't show anything?

show plugins;
...
| PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA             | ACTIVE   | STORAGE ENGINE     | NULL    | GPL     |
| FEDERATED                      | ACTIVE   | STORAGE ENGINE     | NULL    | GPL     |
| ARCHIVE                        | ACTIVE   | STORAGE ENGINE     | NULL    | GPL     |
...

If not, where does your version of MariaDB come from? Can only suggest getting hold of a version with it present. I'm sure you're aware 5.5 is also long EOL, but is still available from the archives if you specifically need that version.
