Thanks Jon. Seems to be closer to working now:
Running ./renderd shows: Rendering daemon registered datasource : shape registered datasource : postgis registered datasource : raster ENCODING = utf8 followed by the mapnik rule output (from osm.xml it appears). Hitting http://localhost/osm_tiles2/0/0/0.png in the browser shows: Got incoming connection, fd 8, number 2 Render fd(8) z(0), x(0), y(0) ... (more output on layer processing) ... DONE TILE 0 0-0 0-0 Produced .meta: /var/www/direct/0/0/0/0/0/0.meta but I get a 404 error in the browser. The .meta file is indeed in /var/www/direct/0/0/0/0/0/. Any ideas on why the PNG isn't showing up in the browser?
