innodb

I am trying to enable InnDB on my linux server. I have installed Ubuntu 10.04 JeOS on an ESX server. I then installed mySQL and tomcat using aptitude. However when I use SHOW ENGINES; in mySQL it does not appear that InnoDB was installed. I then tried following the directions in the documentation. http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/innodb.html However I get the following when trying to enable a plugin:

ERROR 1123 (HY000): Can't initialize function 'InnoDB'; Plugin initialization function failed.

I would appreciate some advice as to how to approach this problem.
