Dear all,

I have successfully updated the machine I asked help to update for which advice was quickly given and resolved.  However, after updating I find the following problems:

1) wine does not work.  Is it because of selinux?  dmesg does not show this :(

[olivares at localhost ~]$ wine ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Orbis\ Software/Easy\ Grade\ Pro/Egp.exe &
[1] 3004
[olivares at localhost ~]$ bash: /usr/bin/wine: Permission denied

[1]+  Exit 126                wine ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Orbis\ Software/Easy\ Grade\ Pro/Egp.exe
[olivares at localhost ~]$ wine --help
bash: /usr/bin/wine: Permission denied
[olivares at localhost ~]$ wine ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Orbis\ Software/Easy\ Grade\ Pro/Egp.exe &
[1] 3007
[olivares at localhost ~]$ bash: /usr/bin/wine: Permission denied

[1]+  Exit 126                wine ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Orbis\ Software/Easy\ Grade\ Pro/Egp.exe
[olivares at localhost ~]$ rpm -qa wine*
wine-capi-0.9.43-2.fc8
wine-twain-0.9.43-2.fc8

wine-core-0.9.43-2.fc8
wine-esd-0.9.43-2.fc8
wine-ldap-0.9.43-2.fc8


2) texlive install was almost successfull all the way except for tetex-xdvi no equivalent texlive package.  I am surprised that f8 test 1 still had tetex instead of texlive, but here I installed it using the instructions on the Wiki.

[root at localhost Downloads]# yum install texlive texlive-latex

and selinux is causing too much trouble.  Here's an example:  Sorry for all the text in the selinux alert.  

Summary
    SELinux is preventing /usr/lib/firefox-2.0.0.6/firefox-bin from making the
    program stack executable.

Detailed Description
    The /usr/lib/firefox-2.0.0.6/firefox-bin application attempted to make the
    its stack executable.  This is a potential security problem.  This should
    never ever be necessary. stack memory is not executable on most OSes these
    days and this will not change. Executable stack memory is one of the biggest
    security problems. An execstack error might in fact be most likely raised by
    malicious code. Applications are sometimes coded incorrectly and request
    this permission.  The http://people.redhat.com/drepper/selinux-mem.html web
    page explains how to remove this requirement.  If /usr/lib/firefox-2.0.0.6
    /firefox-bin does not work and you need it to work, you can configure
    SELinux temporarily to allow this access until the application is fixed.
    Please file a http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi against this
    package.

Allowing Access
    Sometimes a library is accidentally marked with the execstack flag, if you
    find a library with this flag you can clear it with the execstack -c
    LIBRARY_PATH.  Then retry your application.  If the app continues to not
    work, you can turn the flack back on with execstac -s LIBRARY_PATH.
    Otherwise, if you trust /usr/lib/firefox-2.0.0.6/firefox-bin to run
    correctly, you can change the context of the executable to
    unconfined_execmem_exec_t. "chcon -t unconfined_execmem_exec_t
    /usr/lib/firefox-2.0.0.6/firefox-bin" 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 unconfined_execmem_exec_t
    /usr/lib/firefox-2.0.0.6/firefox-bin"

    The following command will allow this access:
    chcon -t unconfined_execmem_exec_t /usr/lib/firefox-2.0.0.6/firefox-bin

dmesg does not show any of these when running dmesg from the terminal.
see

for details.  Will do an

# touch /.autorelabel
# reboot

and hope that it cures many of these issues.
