Description

I was trying to install octave-devel tgcc45 when I had to close up my computer mid-install. When I reopened the computer it didn't continue, I closed terminal, reopened and here's where I'm stuck after entering password:

sudo port install octave-devel tgcc45
Password:
Waiting for lock on /opt/local/var/macports/registry/.registry.lock

the process never continues, I have literally no experience with these things; differing to the experts. Also, if relevant, I'm operating on mountain lion. Thanks,

Sam

That means you are, or someone else is, running another port process in another terminal window. Wait for it to finish. In the future, please use the macports-users mailing list for tech support, Trac is for bug reports and feature requests.
