Thanks, Dane. That did the trick in terms of finding the library.

Now, even a bigger issue :-(. I am getting a 'Bus Error' when trying  
to import the mapnik module:

[zeemac:~]$ python
Python 2.5.1 (r251:54863, Jan 17 2008, 19:35:16)
[GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Inc. build 5465)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
 >>> from mapnik import *
Bus error
