Yes, I think my libpng library was corrupt, but when I tried reinstalling, it still wouldn't work. So I deleted it, as Ken suggested, and it worked. I think it wasn't finding the default libpng, and was going straight to the corrupted version. I spent the whole day trying to figure this out! ;P , so thank you very much Ken and Jouni for your suggestions.
It appears the matplotlib and numpy packages that come with Debian are incompatible. But I installed matplotlib 0.90.1 and numpy 1.0.3-2 on my own, and after fixing that libpng error, they appear to be compatible.
