problems installing latex - maemo.org

I am trying to install latex on my n900, but I receive the next error.

~ # apt-get install latex
E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)
E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?

Does anyone could help me?

It means that some other process is using apt, so it is locked. Most likely you are running the graphical Hildon Application Installer at the same time, so quit it.

LaTex! ? heh. Have fun.

Thanks to all for your help.

I succed to solve apt problem, but i can not install it properly because I am not able to install perl.

Someone has ever succed to install perl on n900.

Yes please. It is something I would really like to have on the N900.
Here http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...ighlight=latex someone managed to install maemotex on the N900, but there are no instructions, unfortunately.

Yes, I am running perl on my N900. Warning though: it is not "optified" and it is big, being perl.

I'm not sure which repo I got it from, but probably SDK or tools. Here's my repo list:

Code:

deb https://downloads.maemo.nokia.com/fremantle/apps/ ./ 
deb https://downloads.maemo.nokia.com/fremantle/mr0 ./ 
deb http://repository.maemo.org/extras/ fremantle free non-free
deb http://repository.maemo.org/extras-devel/ fremantle free
deb http://repository.maemo.org/extras-testing/ fremantle free
