I have iphoto 9.6 and i cant open my iphoto library. I got this message

Your photo library is either in use by another application or has become unreadable :
Shut down and restart your computer, and then open iPhoto again. If the problem persists, try rebuilding your photo library. To do this, quit iPhoto, and then reopen it while keeping the Option and Command keys pressed. You can also try restoring your photo library from a backup.
i cant open my iphoto to check what option to pick.
the options i have are :
repair permissions: Examines your library for permission problems and repairs them. This requires Administrator access.
rebuild thumbnails: Regenerates the thumbnail files from the original images. This should be used when photos are not being displayed correctly in the photo grid.
repair database: Checks for inconsistencies in your library and repairs them. Adds photos that are stored in the library but missing from the database.
rebuild database:Examines and rebuilds your library. This should be used only when the above options do not address library problems.
it also needs me to upgrade my photo library.(which i cant do because of the message)
What should i do .

Backup your iPhoto library and Follow the suggestions in order
1 - Shut down and restart your computer,
2 - and (if #1 does not fix it) then open iPhoto again. If the problem persists, try rebuilding your photo library. --  which is clearly option 4 -
rebuild database:Examines and rebuilds your library. This should be used only when the above options do not address library problems.
