Archive not enabled on linux binary by default

Hi,

The archive mode is not enabled when I installed the 5.0.13 rpm. I have only just noticed because I inspected the size of a table that I created and populated with 100,000 rows and it was much bigger than expected.

My table creation statement did not fail with 'ENGINE = ARCHIVE', and instead silently set it to MyISAM.

This is in contrast to the windows installation where it was enabled by default.

The documentation suggests that I need to build my linux distribution with a flag to indicate that this engine be made available. I don't really want to build an executable. Is there some server variable I can set to have this engine mode available in my situation now -- after installation?

Cheers, Jared.
