Problem

An error similar to the following is returned when you try to configure the Surround SCM integration in TestTrack on some Linux distributions with SELinux enabled:

Unable to load the Surround SCM SCCI library from its default location. QLibrary::load_sys: Cannot load /usr/lib/libSurround SCM SCCI.so (/usr/lib/libSurround SCM SCCI.so: cannot restore segment prot after reloc: Permission denied)

Cause

The SELinux security extension may be running in Enforcing mode, which prevents the Surround SCM SCCI library from loading.

Solution

Modify the /etc/selinux/config file to run SELinux in Permissive mode. Set SELINUX=permissive.

-or-

If you are required to run the system in Enforcing mode, enter the following command to change the security context for the Surround SCM SCCI library:

chcon –t texrel_shlib_t /usr/lib/Seapine/libSurround SCM SCCI.so
