Hi Sam,

See http://www.weait.com/content/build-your-own-openstreetmap-server
Especially 

"Mapnik from source
Use Mapnik for rendering pretty maps. We'll use both the mapnik.org
project and some OpenStreetMap.org mapnik-tools and we'll call them both
Mapnik at various times depending on context. Sorry about that. This
section deals with the Mapnik.org project. "

And complete those steps down to "sudo ldconfig"  

If you can run all of those steps without error, try again to generate
z0.  

Best regards,
Richard
