Are you sure you have rebuilt gdal with the mrsid support enabled? This
format is not included by default and requires a proprietary SDK.

Is the mapnik gdal plugin picking up this version of gdal? 
maybe look at: ldd /path/to/gdal.input | grep gdal

e.g.

$ ldd /usr/local/lib64/mapnik/input/gdal.input | grep gdal
        libgdal.so.1 => /usr/lib64/libgdal.so.1 (0x00007f70337fd000)
