I'm not sure why you wouldn't have this function.  MATLAB 
is expecting this file to exist in:

<MATLABROOT>\toolbox\matlab\datatypes\@opaque\toChar.m

It appears you are missing some files and/or directories.  
All I can suggest is to reinstall MATLAB.  Also, you might 
want to update your version of Java.
