vlc

After getting vlc-2.0.3tar.gz I extracted it and then tried the ./install, but it gave me an error. Then i did ./configure and got this..

configure: error: No package 'dbus-1' found.

Then tried this:

apt-get install dbus-1

But I got this:

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?

What do I do next?
