SELinux security warnings

If you are running a Security Enhanced Linux (SELinux) system, you may get warning messages in the SELinux troubleshooter when trying to run an executable which uses Rivet:

"SELinux is preventing <execname> from loading /usr/local/lib/libRivet.so.1.1.0
which requires text relocation."

This is referring to Rivet's use of binreloc to improve portability when reading the installed reference histogram files. It is not a real security issue. We recommend that you use the chcon command suggested by SELinux's troubleshooter to allow text relocation on libRivet (and libRivetAnalysisStd, as well as any user-written analysis libraries). Rivet should then run as it would on a non-SE Linux system.
