This part of the description is old. You only have to install the mapnik 
database. If you havn't been successfull yet, you might want to try to use  
the script at:
http://svn.openstreetmap.org/applications/rendering/mapnik/update-mapnik-from-planet.sh
This will create the necessary users, download most of the mapnik stuff and 
import it into the database.
If this part is done you simply should be able to switch mapnik mode to on an 
you should have your osm map visible.
