The problem was that I did not have php4-mysql package installed.

I know this because I used synaptic package manager (type synaptic at the command line) which showed that php4-mysql was not installed.

I installed this and phpmyadmin works

I did not follow your advice falco - I did not need to edit the php.ini file.

But thanks anyway.
