Description of problem:
Cannot open MATLAB R2008a unless I override specific selinux settings.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
MATLAB R2008a, redhat EL5.3

How reproducible:
Any time I try to open Matlab

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open terminal window and go to csh
2. setenv MATLAB_JAVA /usr/local/matlab2008a/sys/java/jre/glnxa64/jre1.6.0_07
3. type   matlab
  
Actual results:

SELinux is preventing MATLAB from loading /usr/local/matlab2008a/bin/glnxa64/libguide.so which requires text relocation. 

Matlab doesn't open

Expected results:
Matlab should open


Additional info:

SELinux is preventing MATLAB from loading /usr/local/matlab2008a/bin/glnxa64/libguide.so which requires text relocation. Detailed DescriptionThe MATLAB application attempted to load /usr/local/matlab2008a/bin/glnxa64/libguide.so 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 SELinux Memory Protection Tests web page explains how to remove this requirement. You can configure SELinux temporarily to allow /usr/local/matlab2008a/bin/glnxa64/libguide.so to use relocation as a workaround, until the library is fixed. Please file a bug report against this package. Allowing AccessIf you trust /usr/local/matlab2008a/bin/glnxa64/libguide.so to run correctly, you can change the file context to textrel_shlib_t. "chcon -t textrel_shlib_t '/usr/local/matlab2008a/bin/glnxa64/libguide.so'" 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 textrel_shlib_t '/usr/local/matlab2008a/bin/glnxa64/libguide.so'" The following command will allow this access:chcon -t textrel_shlib_t '/usr/local/matlab2008a/bin/glnxa64/libguide.so'Additional InformationSource Context:  user_u:system_r:java_t:SystemLow-SystemHighTarget Context:  system_u:object_r:lib_tTarget Objects:  /usr/local/matlab2008a/bin/glnxa64/libguide.so [ file ]Source:  MATLABSource Path:  /usr/local/matlab2008a/bin/glnxa64/MATLAB
