Summary: cyclone and SELinux 

Initial Comment:
On a recent install of FC10 (planetCCRMA pd 0.39.3), SELinux doesn't like minimum/maximum from cyclone:

The pd application attempted to load /usr/lib/pd/extra/cyclone/minimum.pd_linux which requires text relocation. This is a potential security problem. Most libraries do not need this permission. Libraries are sometimes coded incorrectly and request this permission.

they refer to this page for info:

Message:
anyhow, the problem seems to be, that your object have not been built with 
"-fPIC".

this has been fixed (to make cyclone compile on x86_64) with revision
10528 (january09)

so upgrade your cyclone sources, and all shall be well.

Message:
since the problem with "text relocation" is (according to the link given)
comes from an "incorrect build", it would be interesting to know who built
the binary?
yourself? Pd-extended?
