This is just a bit of guessing, but:
Perhaps you need to load the mysql module via a directive in your
php.ini file:
extension=mysql.so
Alternativly, you could try upgrading to a newer version of
libmysqlclient. Perhaps php4-mysql requires a newer version of
that library to provide mysql support. If so, it sounds like a
package dependancy screwup of some sort, assuming you've installed
all this using debian packages.
