drupal doesn't seem to see mysql

[Robert P. J. Day]

  setting up drupal 5.2 on my fedora test box and, once i got to the
config screen, i was presented with the message:

"Database configuration

Your web server does not appear to support any common database types.
Check with your hosting provider to see if they offer any databases
that Drupal supports."

  but:

# rpm -q mysql
mysql-5.0.45-4.fc8
#

  am i missing something obvious?
