Report a bug to whoever provided the collection of files that their install script should do the following: restorecon /usr/X11R6/lib/libXvMCNVIDIA.so.1.0.6629 restorecon /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.0.6629
Dan recently worked on a patch for coreutils to make the 'install' command do this internally. I don't think we can ask every ISV to insert restorecon commands at arbitrary points in their code. Saying however that they must use the 'install' command (or RPM) to install software is a much more defensible position, IMO.
Valdis just said that they have specific builds for different distributions and different versions of the various distributions. As they already have such a variation, adding another simple thing such as restorecon is not asking a lot (IMHO).
Also if they would just use RPMs to deliver their software then many of these issues would get solved for them.
