Could be a number of things:

- mysql may not be installed.

- mysql is installed but in a non-standard location.

- mysql is the wrong version.

You can start tracking down these issues by running mysql_config

Most likely it's the MySQLdb package (https://pypi.python.org/pypi/MySQL-python) that's not installed.

Installing it *will* require installing libmysql-client first, though.
