installing xine from source yields lots of selinux denials

[Antonio Olivares]

Dear all,

Trying to install xine-lib from source *to put in the missing pieces* gives selinux denials with chcon


Summary:

SELinux is preventing chcon (unconfined_t) "mac_admin" unconfined_t.

Detailed Description:

SELinux denied access requested by chcon. It is not expected that this access is
required by chcon and this access may signal an intrusion attempt. It is also
possible that the specific version or configuration of the application is
causing it to require additional access.

Allowing Access:

You can generate a local policy module to allow this access - see FAQ
(http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/selinux-faq-fc5/#id2961385) Or you can disable
SELinux protection altogether. Disabling SELinux protection is not recommended.
Please file a bug report (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi)
against this package.
