Why didn't that occur to me?  I should get more sleep. Thanks for the tip.  Now I know that it definitely is SELinux, a system I understand not at all, I presume the problem is in these context things ... ghc has system_u and bin_t, while audley has unconfined_u and file_t.  Time to go poking about.  The unconfined_u looks suspicious.

cheers,
Fraser.

Did you try turning off SELinux to check?

Hi all,

Has anybody seen this?  I thought it might be an SELinux thing, but then I wouldn't expect GHC or darcs to run.  Audley is a fairly simple program in operating system feature terms, but I get the same error with anything I build myself.
