I take it that in spite of these warnings, the other files are properly
installed. In that case this is what you can do:
1. Under the /texmf/fonts/map/pdftex (and also under
/texmf/fonts/map/dvips,in case you want to create the PostScript
of a malayalam document), create a directory named "malayalam".
2. In the untarred "malayalam-0.9.2" directory, under the "fonts"
subdirectory you'll find two mapfiles "malayalam.map" and
"malayalam_pdftex.map". Copy the first to
/texmf/fonts/map/dvips/malayalam and the second to
/texmf/fonts/map/pdftex/malayalam
3. Run "texhash"

At the beginning of your malayalam source file, include this line
\pdfmapfile{+malayalam_pdftex.map}
Please get back if there are further problems.
