I just installed the Oracle 11g client on a Fedora 13 x86_64 system.
I encountered a problem, though. Here's the summary:
After installation, I wanted to add the client libraries to ldconfig
so I could link my code to them. I added oracle.conf to the
/etc/ld.so.conf.d directory with this line:
/opt/oracle/product/lib
and ran ldconfig as root. Now the fun started.
I ran into the usual problems with Oracle, like needing execmod on
their libraries. But I noticed that the system was pegged with dbus
and sedispatch in top. Not understanding what the problem was, I
rebooted. It's a fresh Fedora install -- I guess I'm still
trigger-happy. :-) Now the desktop won't come up because the system
dbus failed to start.
I checked the audit logs and found:
type=AVC msg=audit(1281461253.603:93564): avc: denied { execute } for pid=26249 comm="dbus-daemon-lau" path="/opt/oracle/product/lib/libexpat.so.1" dev=dm-0 ino=324505 scontext=system_u:system_r:system_dbusd_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=unconfined_u:object_r:usr_t:s0 tclass=file

I knew what to do at this point and renamed libexpat in Oracle's lib
directory and rebooted successfully.
I was surprised to see /lib64/dbus-1/dbus-daemon-launch-helper link to
Oracle's version of libexpat.
What did I do wrong?
