This is a known problem with Numeric. We have resolved this issue in
scipy_core, Numeric’s nascent replacement.
Good news. I’m new to scipy, I’ve only just installed the previous version, so I’ll skip beta-testing
for this one I think 
But I’ll most likely switch to it when there’s a new release, it’s too interesting
not to.
The message you got is a bit misleading.
Aha, so my clumsy workaround did work!
In fact, the problem is that
_nc_image.so can’t find the function png_set_sBIT() which should be inlibpng. Check which libpng library actually got linked in.
We do have several versions of libpng installed, both of libpng10 and libpng12. The file /usr/lib/libpng.so is a
symbolic link to libpng12.so.0.1.2.8, so I suspect that’s the version which got linked in.
