Hi while following the stops to install JRE as per http://stanton-finley.net/fedora_core_5_installation_notes.html
the instruction which says: If you have not already done so go to "System" > "Administration" > "Security Level and Firewall". Enter your root password and click "ok". On the "SELinux" tab click on "Modify SELinux Policy", click on "Compatibility" to open it and tick the check box next to "Allow the use of shared libraries with Text Relocation". Click "ok". Reboot your machine to implement the new SELinux policy.

This action sets the allow_execmod SELinux boolean. You could do that from the command line without using system-config-securitylevel as follows:
# setsebool -P allow_execmod 1
There is no need to reboot after doing this.
However, this is not the best way of solving the problem, as it relaxes security much more than necessary. A better way would be to set the SElinux context type of the java libraries to textrel_shlib_t, which would have the same effect but only for those particular libraries.
Paul.
set the SElinux context type ... I don't understand, who is it done, could some one provide a link to the docs please.
