It was probably me but if so I am surprised. I don't have shared version 
of libpng (nor libfreetype (see P.S.). I just verified that and built a 
new matplotlib installer.

You can get it here:
<http://www.astro.washington.edu/rowen/pythoninstallers/>
and I'll submit the installer after confirmation that the shared library 
issue is resolved.
