mysql not visible by drupal install script?

[Rajinder Yadav]

I am trying to install Drupal downloaded as a tarbar. I have done so
successfully on CentOS but I recall there I ran the install script as
root. On Kubuntu I am using a non-root account. For some reason drupal
can't find me install mysql server?

I've checked that mysql is running as I had to create database for
drupal. Does anyone has any ideas what I have to do?

I know I can install drupal using my package manager, but still I
would like to know what's going on here and how to resolve this?
