Programs fail to load


Hi, I've recently installed Fedora Core 6 and the installation went smoothly, I got Yum working fine and began trying to install a few programs - namely ones to play mp3 files.

I tried Amarok initially, and I got that installed. However, when I clicked on it from the menu, it would appear in the bottom panel saying "Amarok Loading" and it would do this for about 20 seconds, before disappearing. Suffice to say, nothing opened.

The same happened with Real Player, and also, I've just noticed with the ATI Catalyst Control Center.

If I try to start Amarok from the Konsole, I get:

Code:
$ amarokapp
amarokapp: error while loading shared libraries: /usr/lib/xorg/libGL.so.1: cannot restore segment prot after reloc: Permission denied
Likewise, with Real Player, I get the following:

Code:
$ realplay
/usr/local/RealPlayer/realplay.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
(I believe these are the right commands to start them - please correct me if I'm wrong).
Because of the nature of the problem, I wondered if they're somehow related?

Any help appreciated.






EDIT

Solved. I thought I'd just add how here in case anyone else had the same problem. Apparently it's a SELinux problem. You need to disable SELinux by su, then issueing the following command:

/usr/sbin/setenforce 0

All worked again fine after that.

Glad you got it working, but disabling selinux isn't the :right: solution, it does work, but it is like taking a sledgehammer to a nail ... you can get things done easier with a hammer ...

Code:
# semanage fcontext -l | grep real
you'll see the security context file_type that the executable is suppose to be ... if you selinux installed properly, after you run the app, if it fails on an "avc{getattr}" problem within selinux it will output a good message into either messages or the audit log if you are using that package ... and using setroubleshootd

I wasn't a big selinux fan before 2.6.18 ... they spent a lot of time getting it manageable, and once you understand it, it really isn't that bad

A quick and dirty is to just make a local policy for all the errors you are getting on applications from the daemon inside the messages logfile:

Code:
        # audit2allow -m local -l -i /var/log/messages > local.te
	# checkmodule -M -m -o local.mod local.te
	# semodule_package -o local.pp -m local.mod
	# semodule -i local.pp
Lastly just make sure no booleans need to be set:

Code:
# getsebool -a | grep real
anyway, sorry to beat a dead horse --- xmms works really well for mp3s as well, and there isn't any conflict within selinux as a default ... also folks like xine too .. and banshee
