>Summary
>    SELinux is preventing /opt/openoffice.org2.4/program/soffice.bin from
>    loading /opt/openoffice.org2.4/program/libvclplug_gen680li.so.1.1 which
>    requires text relocation.
>
>Detailed Description
>    The /opt/openoffice.org2.4/program/soffice.bin application attempted to load
>    /opt/openoffice.org2.4/program/libvclplug_gen680li.so.1.1 which requires
>    text relocation.  This is a potential security problem. Most libraries do
>    not need this permission. Libraries 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.  You can
>    configure SELinux temporarily to allow
>    /opt/openoffice.org2.4/program/libvclplug_gen680li.so.1.1 to use relocation
>    as a workaround, until the library is fixed. Please file a
>    http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi against this package.
>
>Allowing Access
>    If you trust /opt/openoffice.org2.4/program/libvclplug_gen680li.so.1.1 to
>    run correctly, you can change the file context to textrel_shlib_t. "chcon -t
>    textrel_shlib_t /opt/openoffice.org2.4/program/libvclplug_gen680li.so.1.1"
>
>    The following command will allow this access:
>    chcon -t textrel_shlib_t /opt/openoffice.org2.4/program/libvclplug_gen680li.so.1.1
