I should have spent these six hours packing to move, but I'm pleased: got PostGIS running, managed to import some shapefiles, and also some OSM data, all for use in a GIS client I use to prep data for OSM.

on which operating system you do this ? (Linux/WIN/MAC) have you instructions for the workflow ?
greetings T.

Until I have time/hardware to build another server, I'm just running it on my primary workstation, under vista64. I do not yet have a set workflow, but I hope to write about it in my osm wiki area once I do. Feel free to send me a PM about it.

If your're going to be running Mapnik under Widows, I may be able to help. Spent several hours getting it to run a fortnight ago. It wasn't easy as all the Unix instructions don't translate over to Windows very well, the conversion template for OSM.XML didn't capitalise entries correctly, causing lots of unhelpful 'node map not found' errors. Nothing on the internet about it. I eventually sussed that that the xml file had different capitalisation for a few things (and some were right) also it seemed to be randomly using double and single quotes, where only doubles would work. I would have loved to have documented it all, but it took several days of on and off fiddling and trying things to get it working.
I'm now very pleased with the results, and can privately render things like tracks with dotted borders, overlayed with any right-of-way info.

I don't think I will be running mapnik on the windows box. I'm setting up on a big linux server at work that's sitting idle right now.
