[CentOS] Oracle Instant Client 11g on CentOS 5 (32-bit) workaround

[Jay Leafey]

I downloaded the RPMs from the Oracle web site (otn.oracle.com) and successfully installed them on my C5 box, but the sqlplus client software would not run properly. After a few iterations with sealert, I finally got a handle on what was happening.

find /usr/lib/oracle/11.1.0.1/client/lib -type f -name \*.so\* \
    -exec chcon -t textrel_shlib_t {} \;





Thanks!

It turns out that most of the shared libraries Oracle installs need to have their SElinux file context modified to allow relocation. Here's the quick-and-dirty routine I use to repair this: Obviously you could get around this by disabling SElinux, but I really want to avoid that if possible. Now a quick question: does anybody know if there is any way to configure SElinux so that the context for these files won't be "fixed" by a restorecon operation on this directory?
