/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lselinux
 

hi there

after i have upgraded my system from redhat 9.0 to fedora 2
i have been getting such errors on many packages i have tries installing
what is this????

i have got errors in kmplayer,kaffeine and now in kopete
all of these happen to be kde packages

i then did
#locate -lselinux
and i got this

[root@gaurav kopete-0.8.4]# locate -lselinux
fatal error: locate: ERROR: Security level must be 0 or 1.

i cannot make anything out of this..

locate is working fine for other queries

I gues it means the run level.
Check out /etc/inittab to check out the runlevels

hi there

what runlevel should i choose?????

i in gui mode(run level 5) ,should this effect my package installations???
are u sure abou it????

Im not sure if it is the run level, but it certainly wont affect your packages.

hi
it is not unlevel
last i heard selinux stands for------security enhanced linux
maybe something new we have here????

regards

ugh !!!

SElinux is a super powerfull security kernel stuff...
it stops hackers from penetrating your machine... for example.. if you are running a webserver, and hackers hack the server.. SElinux will lock them down... so they wont be able to do anything.

for a desktop machine, you dont need it... turn se-linux off by adding a kernel parameter... cant remember what. look it up on google.

selinux is preventing your normal aplications from running because it has not been configured proberly to know what is and isnt a threat

hi there

got my problem solved
i was missing on the
lselinux-devel package which was creating the problem
