    MySQL extension is not enabled in your PHP installation. You will need to compile PHP with MySQL extension.

    Is this your server? What OS are you running? Any control panel, or, is this just a test server setup at home?

    If you are running a redhat based system, you can try the following from the command line:

    yum install php-mysql

    That would help solve the error, and then you will be able to install wordpress.

    Just read the error, it says it's missing your mysql, get that setup and you should be fine ;)
