Dear Stephan, Thanks so much. gp now works like a charm. Of course since /usr/lib/libpari.so.1 is a soft link to /usr/lib/libpari.so.2.1.7 what worked for me was sudo chcon -t textrel_shlib_t /usr/lib/libpari.so.2.1.7 Great to have such knowledgeable respondents on the SL list, and responding so quickly! -- Peter ======================================================== On Jan 21, 2008 at 6:49 am, [log in to unmask] wrote: | On Sun, 20 Jan 2008, Peter Scott wrote: | | >However then the command "gp" fails with this error message: | > | >gp: error while loading shared libraries: /usr/lib/libpari.so.1: cannot | >restore segment prot after reloc: Permission denied. | > | >Any idea what's wrong? | | You have SELinux enabled, and the shared library probably isn't built | quite correctly.
