[development] drush bootstrap error on ubuntu

[vibanu]

Drush was installed using PEAR. Drush by default was installed in
/usr/share/php/drush folder. I am trying to run drush from my site root.
Could someone please help to resolve this error?

root at devdrupal:/var/www/drupal# drush pml
Command pm-list needs a higher bootstrap level to run - you will need to

invoke drush from a more functional Drupal environment to run this
command.
The drush command 'pml' could not be executed.
