library icns

When I try to install calibre on my iMac, I get this message: Can't install. Library.icns in use.

What is this? How do I resolve the situation? Thanks!

calibre does not have an installer on OS X. You simple drag and drop the calibre app to Applications. SO at what point are you getting this error message?

Am running OS X Lion (10.7.5) and have been encountering the same difficulty, despite my always ensuring to Quit the Calibre application before trying to install an update.

The problem occurs after I have done the drag and drop. I get the error message reported by the first poster - except the filename is 'book.icns' not 'Library.icns'. This effectively stops the process and thus prevents me from being able to complete the update.

The only way I've been able to update the past few iterations of Calibre has been to restart my computer so that whatever that file is, it finally gets closed.
