After the update of ffmpeg I can't lauch mplayer.
$ mplayer mplayer: error while loading shared libraries: /usr/lib/libx264.so.54: cannot restore segment prot after reloc: Permission denied
I can confirm this, so I just rolled back to the previous version and all is well again.
Related to this I think: http://bugzilla.livna.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1243
I followed the suggestion from the bugzilla link
chcon system_u:object_r:textrel_shlib_t /usr/lib/libx264.so.54
and now mplayer is working all right, both as user and as root. Peter.
