Admin Privileges for installing gtk(radiant)
« on: March 20, 2009, 09:06:08 am »
This doesn't really fit here, but I downloaded a gtkradiant RPM for Linux (x32).

After installing it, I click on it and get this:


Code: [Select]
Summary:

SELinux is preventing radiant.x86 from loading /opt/gtkradiant/modules/image.so
which requires text relocation.

Detailed Description:

The radiant.x86 application attempted to load /opt/gtkradiant/modules/image.so
which requires text relocation. This is a potential security problem. Most
libraries do not need this permission. Libraries are sometimes coded incorrectly
and request this permission. The SELinux Memory Protection Tests
(http://people.redhat.com/drepper/selinux-mem.html) web page explains how to
remove this requirement. You can configure SELinux temporarily to allow
/opt/gtkradiant/modules/image.so to use relocation as a workaround, until the
library is fixed. Please file a bug report
(http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi) against this package.

Allowing Access:

If you trust /opt/gtkradiant/modules/image.so to run correctly, you can change
the file context to textrel_shlib_t. "chcon -t textrel_shlib_t
'/opt/gtkradiant/modules/image.so'" You must also change the default file
context files on the system in order to preserve them even on a full relabel.
"semanage fcontext -a -t textrel_shlib_t '/opt/gtkradiant/modules/image.so'"

Fix Command:

chcon -t textrel_shlib_t '/opt/gtkradiant/modules/image.so'

When I type that command into the terminal, It tells me I don't have the privileges. I need to be logged in as power user I guess..

Anyone have an idea?

You have SELinux in enforcing mode, and it is disallowing text relocation. Follow the instructions under "Allowing Access" to fix this.
