Has anyone gotten the latest VMWare (5.5.1 Build

latest Fedora Rawhide?

I'm able to build the kernel modules, but when I try
to run the
workstation frontend, I get the following:

/usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmware: error while loading
shared
libraries:


/usr/lib/vmware/lib/libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0/libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0:

cannot restore segment prot after reloc: Permission

Selinux policy is blocking it from running, disabling
selinux would make it 'work'.

I've been seeing this too with third party
applications, does anyone know how to work around this
with selinux still enabled? Relabelling the files
doesn't seem to effecf it.

I believe some file content needs to be added to the third party software with different commands to adjust policy. The selinux list answered questions quickly and led me in the right direction when I was actively on the list. I think the commands are cryptic but with usage, it might become an easy process.

https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-selinux-list/

might be a good place to get answers or directions to the commands, help files and documentation.

It would be great if third party programs were flagged for SELinux attention. I think the rpm database contains information on file content. A utility progam or work with the vendors to add security content to their programs would be helpful. Needing to disable SELinux when using third party software is a bit extreme. I believe relabeling only relabels according to information in policy files.
