Hi David, Try stopping apache and any other processes that may be claiming memory. I see you are likely installing the development branch of Mapnik 0.7.2, which sounds good. It should be able to compile the 0.7.x series with ~ 300-400 MB of ram, but surely it will compile more promptly with more. The bindings/python/mapnik_rule.cpp is usually the file that hangs under extreme low memory situations on shared hosts, so if you see a hang there you may need to up your slicehost specs.
If you find this annoying that you need memory to compile, I would recommend you get a hold of a more recent ubuntu VM for slicehost as 10.04 has nearly the latest Mapnik release available via apt.
