Which version were you using before, and which one are you using now?

From your output, I'd say they removed or unconfigured some parts in the
source before creating binaries.
(If your previous version was taken from the same source, they did an
incompatible change IMNSHO, and I hope they did give a thorough warning.
If not, you should raise a complaint.)

This is what "show engines" and "show plugins" report in my test build
of post-5.1.57 (complete sources):

===== ENGINES =====
Engine Support Comment Transactions XA Savepoints
ndbcluster NO Clustered, fault-tolerant tables NULL
NULL NULL
MRG_MYISAM YES Collection of identical MyISAM tables NO
NO NO
BLACKHOLE YES /dev/null storage engine (anything you write
to it disappears) NO NO NO
CSV YES CSV storage engine NO NO NO
MEMORY YES Hash based, stored in memory, useful for temporary
tables NO NO NO
FEDERATED NO Federated MySQL storage engine NULL NULL
NULL
ARCHIVE YES Archive storage engine NO NO NO
InnoDB YES Supports transactions, row-level locking, and foreign
keys YES YES YES
MyISAM DEFAULT Default engine as of MySQL 3.23 with great performance
NO NO NO

===== PLUGINS =====
Name Status Type Library License
binlog ACTIVE STORAGE ENGINE NULL GPL
partition ACTIVE STORAGE ENGINE NULL GPL
ARCHIVE ACTIVE STORAGE ENGINE NULL GPL
BLACKHOLE ACTIVE STORAGE ENGINE NULL GPL
CSV ACTIVE STORAGE ENGINE NULL GPL
FEDERATED DISABLED STORAGE ENGINE NULL GPL
MEMORY ACTIVE STORAGE ENGINE NULL GPL
InnoDB ACTIVE STORAGE ENGINE NULL GPL
MRG_MYISAM ACTIVE STORAGE ENGINE NULL GPL
MyISAM ACTIVE STORAGE ENGINE NULL GPL
ndbcluster DISABLED STORAGE ENGINE NULL GPL

I don't think there is a way to add those missing parts back to your
current binaries.

If you have tables using the InnoDB engine, I see these approaches you
could take:

1) Go back to the version you used previously.
You have a full system backup, I trust ?

2) Build from source.

3) Use other binary packages, like those available directly from MySQL
(now: Oracle).

my "fix" wound up being use the gui in mcc (drakurpmi) to remove mysql
and then to move any my* file from /etc and /usr/share, /usr/lib64/ and
/usr/sbin/ and then reinstall with the gui in mcc (drakurpmi) to put
back mysql functions I had removed.
thanks for the help
