Hi,  
I'm trying to install Psychtoolbox on ubuntu 9.10 and Octave 3.2.2.  
I get this error message:  
ERROR: WaitSecs-MEX does not work, most likely other MEX files will not work either.  
ERROR: One reason might be that your version 3.2.2 of Octave is incompatible. We recommend  
ERROR: use of the latest stable version of Octave-3.2.x as announced on www.octave.org website.  
ERROR: Another conceivable reason would be missing or incompatible required system libraries on your system.  
  
ERROR: After fixing the problem, restart this installation/update routine.  
  
  
  
Installation aborted. Fix the reported problem and retry.  
  
any idea what am I doing wrong?
