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.

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
deb http://repository.maemo.org/ fremantle/sdk free
