 When trying to run MythTV 0.21-fixes on Fedora 11 with SELinux enabled, I
 get the following error:

 SELinux is preventing mythfrontend from loading
 /usr/lib/mythtv/filters/libgreedyhdeint.so which requires text relocation

 According to a Red Hat article, compilation with -fPIC should fix the
 problem unless the text relocation is taking place in ASM code (which
 appears to be the case with filter_greedyhdeint.c including greedyh.asm).

 http://people.redhat.com/drepper/textrelocs.html

 The workaround is to configure SELinux to allow text relocation in this
 library, but it would be better if MythTV fixed the security problem.
