[OSM-dev] Incomplete Mapnik rendering

When you say you checked out mapnik from svn, you mean the mapnik 
directory from OSM's SVN repo? With osm.xml in there, for instance? In 
that case, that's just one half of what's commonly known as 'mapnik' in 
the OSM community.

The other half of 'mapnik' is the actual renderer software, which needs 
to be at a reasonably current version as well, to work with the current 
osm.xml and osm2pgsql.

That's a typical error when your mapnik (the renderer, not the directory 
with osm.xml) is too old. Try upgrading that one to 0.6.1 or compile it 
from the SVN repo at http://svn.mapnik.org/trunk/
