hi there

i have bn going nuts on this ,so. pl. help me out here

i migrated from RH 9.0 to FC2
now when i went on to installing my application (kaffeine,kopete,--all applications from kde.org)
they report an error of

/usr/bin/ld -lselinux

not found

now i came to know that is stands for security enhanced linux(selinux)
so, i tried out
securtiyenabled and securitydisable command
but they do not seem to work here

also i saw an option of some security features(mention selinux) in the kernel,which was there in the kernel iwas using,so compiled a new kernel without any security feature and too reports the same erorr
i do not know what to do. i am not able to get my application installed due to this


pl. help

For stock Fedora kernels it should be off by default. In the vanilla 2.6 kernels I've compiled on FC2 systems, it's turned off as well. In fact, I think you still have to pass it a command line option at boot to activate the SELinux capabalities. That being said, here's how to specifically turn it off along with a general FAQ:

Also this specifically might help the cause:

There's a quick fix given in the follow-ups to this thread.

You should really learn to google better.

Also, you've been around long enough to know that double-posting is against the rules. If you thought your other thread would get more attention in this forum, then ask a mod to move it.

Enjoy!
