How do I enable archive storage engine in MySQL?

+1  A: 

As per the docs,

The ARCHIVE storage engine is included in MySQL binary distributions. To enable this storage engine if you build MySQL from source, invoke configure with the --with-archive-storage-engine option.

Are you building from source? Are you using a distribution that's not a normal MySQL binary distribution? Impossible to tell from your question, so that's the best we can do to help unless and until you clarify the exact details of you problem situation.

Somebody else has done the installation and I don't know much about it. The OS is centOS and mysql version 5.0
