We have never seen this package installed in this location. You can fix this by executing the following commands semanage fcontext -a -t textrel_shlib_t /opt/Adobe/Reader8/Browser/intellinux/nppdf.so restorecon -v /opt/Adobe/Reader8/Browser/intellinux/nppdf.so If this is a standard package the path in the RHEL5 bas should be updated.
