You don't say how you installed MySql, but this message would appear to indicate that MySql is not running.
On my Ubuntu laptop, from a terminal I did:
$ ps -ef | grep mysql mysql 25011 1 1 07:21 ? 00:00:05 /usr/sbin/mysqld 1000 28598 28579 0 07:26 pts/1 00:00:00 grep mysql
So, first off, is it running?
Odd.
I apt-get installed package drupal6 on debian ‘lenny’ last night and it fired up MySql without even asking my permission.
Ubuntu may have different policies, though.
I'd check the apt logs just in case.
