[PD] problems at installing apt from Planet CCRMA........

[chun lee]

hi there:

i am in process of setting up Pd on a Fedora machine but am having a bit
of a problem getting apt installed. i wonder if anyone could give me a
hand.

i got to download the two .rpm files 

   apt-0.5.15cnc2-1.rhfc1.ccrma.i386.rpm
   apt-devel-0.5.15cnc2-1.rhfc1.ccrma.i386.rpm


and when i try to install it by typing

   rpm -Uvh apt-0.5.15cnc2-1.rhfc1.ccrma.i386.rpm

then i got this:

   error: cannot get exclusive lock on /var/lib/rpm/Packages
   error: cannot open Packages index using db3 - Operation not permitted
(1)
   error: cannot open Packages database in /var/lib/rpm

as a result when i try to install the second file i got

   error: Failed dependencies:
        apt = 0.5.15cnc2-1.rhfc1.ccrma is needed by   
apt-devel-0.5.15cnc2-1.rhfc1.ccrma


any ideas?

many thanks

yours
