Hello!
Just a short follow-up: I installed 319.49 as well, but the situation is the same. A lot of applications give this error: error while loading shared libraries: libGL.so.1: failed to map segment from shared object: Operation not permitted So no difference between 325.15 and 319.49 from this point of view. I kept MPROTECT after all as you guys recommended, and I decided to use revdep-pax. Unfortunately I encountered the following issue: # revdep-pax -m -l /usr/lib/libGL.so libGL.so.1 /usr/lib64/opengl/nvidia/lib/libGL.so.319.49 :X86_64 (-em--) /usr/bin/cairo-sphinx ( -e--- ) /usr/bin/glxgears ( -e--- ) /usr/lib64/libcairo.so.2.11200.14 ( -e--- ) /usr/bin/vwebp ( -e--- ) /usr/lib64/libwebkitgtk-1.0.so.0.13.4 ( -e--- ) /usr/bin/glxinfo ( -e--- ) /usr/bin/xdriinfo ( -e--- ) /usr/lib64/libglut.so.3.9.0 ( -e--- ) /usr/lib64/libva-glx.so.1.3300.0 ( -e--- ) /usr/lib64/libGLU.so.1.3.1 ( -e--- ) /usr/lib64/va/drivers/vdpau_drv_video.so ( -e--- ) Will mark elf with -em-- Set flags for /usr/bin/cairo-sphinx (y/n): y /usr/bin/cairo-sphinx ( ----- ) Set flags for /usr/bin/glxgears (y/n): y /usr/bin/glxgears ( ----- ) The script actually *erased* the pax markings, instead of marking with -em--: # paxctl-ng -v /usr/bin/glxgears /usr/bin/glxgears: PT_PAX : ----- XATTR_PAX : ----- Do you have any ideas about this issue? Notes: I use PT markings in kernel, and I have PAX_MARKINGS="PT" in make.conf.

Is 319.49 behaving "more nicely" then 325.15?
