Dlopen error, permission denied loading library

ROOT
1

Hello, I’m having problems loading the shared library I created with rootcint into root. When I call:

gSystem->Load("libDecay.so");

I get the error message:

dlopen error: /home/pmatt/projects//clas/packages/decaychain//libDecay.so: cannot restore segment prot after reloc: Permission denied
Load Error: Failed to load Dynamic link library /home/pmatt/projects//clas/packages/decaychain//libDecay.so

Everything was working fine until I upgraded my OS and had to reinstall everything. I’m pretty sure the library is compiled correctly, as it was working fine before. The command:

nm libDecay.so | grep ‘Decay’ | grep ’ U ’

shows no results, so their shouldn’t be anything in my classes that are undefined. I gave the file full 777 permissions, so I don’t understand the permission denied error.

I’ve just installed Fedora Core 6 and ROOT 5.14 (by compiling the source code with gcc 4.1 (or maybe it was 4.1.1)). Please let me know if you need more information. Thanks for the help!

Hi,

could you re-build libDecay.so, removing all temporary files (all .o, .d, etc built during libDecay’s build process), and then try again?

Cheers, Axel.

Already tried that, it didn’t work. I think it might be something to do with the way I setup or configured the install, but I dunno what.

Hi,

the web knows: it’s SELinux. Check e.g. ittvis.com/services/techtip.asp?ttid=3092

Cheers, Axel.
