[OS X TeX] TeXShop won't open .ps in jaguar

As a follow up, after upgrading to 10.2 I had a major OS problem after 
the installation of Internet Explorer 5.2.2 which I resolved by using 
Disk Utility to repair the Disk Permissions which have been totally 
corrupted by the installation process. It might be that a similar 
corruption might have happened when people installed new versions of 
other software like tetex, etc..

Repairing the Disk Permission certainly doesn't do any damage.

Also doing

sudo update_prebinding -root /

which I do occasionally might help.
