matlab release r2007a and PTB (MacOSX)

1
I installed the new Matlab release for OSX today. It generated the
following error: "Could not load Java class GetCharJava!" with respect
to ListenChar, and then again (after I commented out ListenChar) to
FlushEvents. So it seems as if they have modified the java
implementation in a way which is incompatible with the current PTB
(version of 2/15/07).

Hi Todd

Does invokation of "PsychJavaTrouble" help? Did you follow the troubleshooting tips of
"help PsychJavaTrouble"?

If you type "javaclasspath", does the path to Psychtoolbox PsychJava subfolder show up
somewhere?

Yes, but that's a temporary fix. Run PsychtoolboxPostInstallRoutine(1) to fix it
permanently. The same routine gets called after each UpdatePsychtoolbox.
