SELinux

[Lisandro Dalcin]

The very funny error below:

libpetsc.so: cannot restore segment prot after reloc: Permission denied

should NEVER occur if source code is correctly built (using -fPIC or
equivalent) and good programming practices are followed.

Can someone (Satish?) comment the specific scenario where this issue
arised? I believe it would be better not to depend on 'chcon' to get
things workig, but make sure all source code is compiled and written
as it should be. However, I believe this can still cause problems when
building a sharedlib PETSc with a staticlib pre-built external
package.
