PlayOnLinux

Hi,
I have Mandriva 2010 and im trying to install PlayOnLinux with no luck it comes up with this message when i try to install it

"rpm database is locked, process 1042 is already using it (/usr/bin/perl /usr/sbin/urpmi --gui --allow-medium-change --auto --no-verify-rpm --expect-install imwheel)"

How do i fix this and also how do I install the program??

Thanks,
Westham101

To expand on that: kill the urpmi process. For some reason the package manager (urpmi) has not released the RPM database, which may be due to updating a package or just a bug causing it to keep the database locked. The RPM database (which contains information about installed and available packages) can only safely be accessed by one process at a time, hence the warning.
