I downloaded the RPMs from the Oracle web site (otn.oracle.com) and
successfully installed them on my C5 box, but the sqlplus client
software would not run properly. After a few iterations with sealert, I
finally got a handle on what was happening.
It turns out that most of the shared libraries Oracle installs need to
have their SElinux file context modified to allow relocation. Here's
the quick-and-dirty routine I use to repair this:
find /usr/lib/oracle/11.1.0.1/client/lib -type f -name \*.so\* \
-exec chcon -t textrel_shlib_t {} \;
Obviously you could get around this by disabling SElinux, but I really
want to avoid that if possible.
Now a quick question: does anybody know if there is any way to
configure SElinux so that the context for these files won't be "fixed"
by a restorecon operation on this directory?
Thanks!
