I googled for the error you are getting (not specifically for STAF). See the recommendation at http://www.atomicorp.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=2528 <http://www.atomicorp.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=2528>to google for "executable stack" and this you'll get hits like http://etbe.coker.com.au/2007/10/07/executable-stack-and-shared-objects/.

It looks like the problem is in SELinux blocking the executable stack mechanism. One suggestion is to run a command like the following to change the shared object to not request an executable stack. Note that I haven't tried this myself.

execstack -c /usr/local/staf/lib/libcrypto.so.*.*.*

Try that to see if that resolves the problem.

Subject: [staf-users] Installing STAF on Fedora 14
------------------------------------------------------------------------



HI,

I'm trying to install and run STAF on Fedora 14. I am using the
http://cdnetworks-us-1.dl.sourceforge.net/project/staf/staf/V3.4.5/STAF345-linux.tar.gz
for Linux (Intel 32-bit, aka i386 or x86-32).

I was able to install but I keep getting this error message when I try
to run STAFProc.

[root@localhost staf]# STAFProc &
[1] 12373
[root@localhost staf]# STAFProc: error while loading shared libraries:
libcrypto.so.0.9.8: cannot enable executable stack as shared object
requires: Permission denied

[1]+  Exit 127                STAFProc
[root@localhost staf]#

SELinux is protesting when I try to run STAF. If I change SELinux to
permissive mode, then STAF is able to start up just fine.

I don't want to turn SELinux off in order to use STAF. Is there any
solution for this? Could somebody help?

Thanks,
- Swapna
