The files in /usr/lib are the libraries you need to link your program 
against to use mapnik.

Were you expecting some sort of command line program called mapnik? If 
you were then you're out of luck - mapnik is a toolkit for other 
programs to use so it comes as a library for them to link against.

If you don't want to go to the trouble of writing a program that can be 
linked against the library you may want to install the mapnik-python 
package which will allow you to use mapnik from a python script.

You need to install libtool (the libtool-ltdl-devel package to be precise).
