Which versions of the MySQL software support Cluster? Do I have to compile from source?
Beginning with MySQL 4.1.3, MySQL Cluster is supported in all MySQL-Max server binaries in the 5.1 release series for operating systems on which MySQL Cluster is available. See mysqld. You can determine whether your server has NDB support using either either of the statements SHOW VARIABLES LIKE ‘have_%’ or SHOW ENGINES. You can also obtain NDB support by compiling MySQL from source, but it is not necessary to do so simply to use MySQL Cluster. To download the latest binary, RPM, or source distribution in the MySQL 5.1 series, visit http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/5.1.html. However, you should use MySQL NDB Cluster NDB 6.2 or 6.3 for new deployments, and if you are already using MySQL 5.1 with clustering support, to upgrade to one of these MySQL Cluster NDB 6.x release series. For an overview of improvements made in MySQL Cluster NDB 6.2 and 6.3, see MySQL 5.1 Manual: Features Added in MySQL Cluster NDB 6.2, and MySQL 5.1 Manual: Features Added in MySQL Cluster NDB 6.3.

Cluster is supported in all server binaries in the 5.0 release series for operating systems on which MySQL Cluster is available. See Section 4.3.1, “mysqld — The MySQL Server”. You can determine whether your server has NDB support using either the SHOW VARIABLES LIKE ‘have_%’ or SHOW ENGINES statement. Linux users, please note that NDB is not included in the standard MySQL server RPMs. Beginning with MySQL 5.0.4, there are separate RPM packages for the NDB storage engine and accompanying management and other tools; see the NDB RPM Downloads section of the MySQL 5.0 Downloads page for these. (Prior to 5.0.4, you had to use the -max binaries supplied as .tar.gz archives. This is still possible, but is not required, so you can use your Linux distribution’s RPM manager if you prefer.) You can also obtain NDB support by compiling MySQL from source, but it is not necessary to do so simply to use MySQL Cluster.
