If you want to enable SELinux, see the FAQ at http://people.redhat.com/kwade/fedora-docs/fc2/selinux-faq-en/index.html. You have to install the policy package in that case, along with several other steps for enabling SELinux post-install. If you don't want to use SELinux, I think you can just touch that file to suppress the warnings from up2date/rpm. > Investigation reveals that the file is, indeed not there.

FC3/test1 included libselinux 1.14, and 1.15 subsequently appeared in FC3/devel, but the latest in FC3/devel is 1.17. I don't know where you are getting 1.15 from.
