Bug #45488	Error installing ha_federated: (errno: 22 undefined symbol: dynstr_append_mem)

Status:	Duplicate	Impact on me:	None
Category:	MySQL Server: Federated storage engine	Severity:	S2 (Serious)
Version:	5.4 beta	OS:	Linux (Ubuntu 9.04)
Assigned to:		CPU Architecture:	Any

Description:
After compiling 5.4, I can't install the federated plugin. The error occurrs on INSTALL plugin and the complaint is that the symbol dynstr_append_mem is not found

How to repeat:
./configure --prefix=somedir

(no other config options, install db using mysql_install_db as usual)

finally, after installing:

mysql> install plugin federated soname 'ha_federated.so';
ERROR 1126 (HY000): Can't open shared library '/home/roland/mysql-builds/mysql-5.4.0-beta/lib/mysql/plugin/ha_federated.so' (errno: 22 undefined symbol: dynstr_append_mem)

(I can install ha_innodb.so and ha_archive.so without any issues.)

Suggested fix:
Please make federated work.

I compiled 5.4.1 (latest sources from Launchpad (rev 2851), using the following script, as usual:

#! /bin/sh
path=`dirname $0`
. "$path/SETUP.sh"
extra_flags=" $fast_cflags $max_cflags -g"
extra_configs=" $max_no_ndb_configs"
. "$path/FINISH.sh"

Federated installs without problems.
Can you provide more detail on your operating system and source version?
