Of the options listed there I'd recommend the 2nd. - disable SELinux.
Until SELinux matures, and RedHat/Fedora manage to make it work reliably (and
not break the system every time they release a new update) your system is much
more likely to work with it disabled. Unless you are operating network servers
(http, smtp, ftp etc.) the chances of it making the slightest difference to the
security of your system are about zero.
Alternatively you can switch to permissive mode, in which SELinux doesn't
enforce the rules, simply logs violations to the system log, so you can fix the
mistakes yourself... ;-)

Whoops! I just didn't wait long enough. Did I mention this
is a SLOW machine with a totally inadequate hard drive? :-)
Still working on 1.5, however.
Thanks for everyone's help.
Cheers,
David

I'm playing around a little bit with yum now. For example,
I have Firefox 1.0.4 installed (default from FC4). But
I've used yum to see that there is a package available
for Firefox 1.0.7. I've tried to install that (with yum)
but failed. And what I would *really* like to install
is Firefox 1.5. I've downloaded that installation from
the Mozilla web page, but cannot for the life of me
see where to place it so it gets recognized. I can't
tell where yum has installed things!
I'm reading the Yum documentation, but I'm pretty
sure it thinks I know more about this than I do. :-(
Cheers,
David

Hey David, I know you already found the library, but there's a handy
little tool on Fedora/Redhat systems (and others based on rpm packages)
called yum. Once it's set up, you can do fun stuff like "yum provides
libXp" and you'll get back a list of all the packages that have some
file or feature matching the name "libXp". It's just really handy when
you're trying to figure out what package provides a certain file.

Hooray!!
OK, on to IDLWAVE! Hope you guys don't mind me asking
questions on this newsgroup. I've heard people here are
tolerant of newbies. :-)
Cheers,
David
P.S. On a sadder note, I'm fooling around with this because
I can't really concentrate on anything else. My office
companion and friend for the past 12 years is having seizures
this morning, and the day I have been dreading for a while now
can't be far off. I'm not sure I can write IDL programs without
this dog at my feet.

Ok, that wasn't so hard. I found the xorg-x11-deprecated-libs
package on Disk 2 of Fedora Core 4, double-clicked it and
it installed itself. Then I logged out and logged back on
and tried IDL again now.
Here is the new error when I type "idl":
.../libidl.so.62 cannot restore segment prot after reloc:
Permission denied.
Any ideas what this means?
Thanks,
David

Hi David,
libXp belongs to X11, but it is not installed by default :-(
Try to install xorg-x11-deprecated-libs from your install CD.
