The mapnik library needs to be told where to find the plugins and your application may be telling mapnik to look in the wrong location. What application are you using? Generally the plugin path is configurable in the application, e.g. for mod_tile / renderd it is this line in the renderd.conf: plugins_dir=/usr/local/lib64/mapnik2/input The latest Mapnik code includes the search path in the error message to make this more obvious.
