[Scilab-Dev] Please make Scilab 6.0.2 and 6.1.0 selinux enforcing compatible

[Clément David]

Hello Rich,

Thanks for the information, we already tried to fix some issues related to SELinux settings but this really depends on the machine administrator. As far as a stock Scilab binary (from www.scilab.org) embed its own JVM which requires executable stack, it might fail to start on SELinux enforcing mode. If you use a Scilab build from your operating system, this might work without issue as the JVM comes from your operating system and is properly tagged.

Do you have any issue with a Scilab from your operating system packaging system ?

Thanks,

Dear Scilab developers,
                We are required to use selinux enforcing for information assurance compliance.  I have noticed that scilab 6.0.2 does not start when selinux is enforcing.
                I recommend that you resolve this issue so that we may use Scilab.

Sincerely yours,

Rich Thissell
