It's not corrupt, it's just not the correct kind of library. There
are two types: static libraries (.a), which get compiled into a
program, and shared libraries (.so), which are stored outside of the
program. Trying to compile a shared library that uses a static
library is always a bit dodgy and sometimes fails completely. If you
really need to use your own copy of libpng you should re-run the
configure script with the "--enable-shared" option and then
recompile. Since you're using Debian I'd advise you to just use the
libraries it provides whenever possible. That ought to make your
life easier.

I have been unable to reproduce the problem you were having with the
Debian matplotlib and numpy packages. I'd appreciate more details
about the packages you had installed, if you don't mind breaking your
system again briefly. Could you please reinstall them, verify that
the problem still occurs, and then email me the output of the
following four commands? If you don't have time to work on this
right now don't worry about it.
Here are the commands which will provide me with the information I
require:
$ cat /etc/debian_version
$ dpkg -s python
$ dpkg -s python-numpy
$ dpkg -s python-numarray
Thanks,
Ken
