Segmentation Fault on install in FC5

Nice job finding that.

I know you\'ve already been thanked, but not by me, lol.  Thank you,  you are a godsend.

You are right, it is kernel related problem. The installer is UPX-packed executable and it needs permission to execute code stored in stack area.

As root use command:

sysctl kernel.exec-shield=1

(I think echo \"1\" > /proc/sys/kernel/exec-shield would work too)

then run Planeshift installer.

The second one worked for me. The first one didn't. Thank you .

Unfortunately, neither worked on my Fedora 9.91 (a.k.a. F10 Beta). When I ran  PlaneShift-v0.4.2-x86.bin  I got:  PROT_EXEC|PROT_WRITE failed.

sardit's  chcon...  was not appropriate for me, since I do not have  /nvidia/  in  /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/.

On the Fedora Desktop I tried:  System  --> Administration  --> SELinux Management  --> Boolean  --> Module: global  --> „Allow unconfined executables to map a memory region as both executable and writable” and the PS-Installer started.

P.S.: I ignored: „this is dangerous and the executable should be reported in bugzilla”
