Ethereum: could not open database: resource temporarily unavailable

I am getting started with Ethereum and building a Dapp (what the hell does this mean by the way?). On the basic installation of the application (https://github.com/ethereum/wiki/wiki/Dapp-using-Meteor#connect-your-%C3%90app), I get this error upon attempting to connect. 

geth --rpc --rpccorsdomain "http://localhost:3000"
I0804 23:48:24.987448 ethdb/database.go:82] Alloted 128MB cache and 1024 file handles to /Users/( . )Y( . )/Library/Ethereum/chaindata
Fatal: Could not open database: resource temporarily unavailable

I literally just got started, I set up ethereum through homebrew and made an account with geth. Can't get past right here.

Thank you!

Your geth client is already running in the background. You can attach to it by typing:

$ geth attach

in your command line. This will allow you to run commands on the geth client console.
