Hi, I see this option when doing configure --help:
--with-plugins=PLUGIN[[[,PLUGIN..]]]
Plugins to include in mysqld. (default is: none)
Must be a configuration name or a comma separated
list of plugins.
Available configurations are: none max max-no-ndb
all.
Available plugins are: partition daemon_example
ftexample archive blackhole csv example federated
heap ibmdb2i innobase myisam myisammrg ndbcluster.
Underneath I see:
=== Federated Storage Engine ===
Plugin Name: federated
Description: Connects to tables on remote MySQL servers
Supports build: static and dynamic
Configurations: max, max-no-ndb
So: --with-plugins= federated
Should do it then? Or should I do: --with-plugins=max ?
Thanks,
Reinoud.

I think it's an error in either the shipped config file or the default
configure script options. You can either recompile and tell it to build
the Federation plugin (look in configure --help for the syntax) or
comment out the line in the .cnf file.
I've never examined what the Federation plugin is and generally go by
the rule that if I don't know what it is I probably don't need it, so I
just commented out the line. It doesn't seem to have hurt mysql in any
way, YMMV.
