I initially encountered the problem while doing a test install of Photo
Shop. Some applications such a PS require that certain memory areas be
available. CXoffice hs a test routine for this in cxoffice/bin/cxmaptest.
This routine will report if it can't map the area.
Prelink with the standard arguments will map portions of libraries and
routines into this area.
Bypass in /etc/sysconfig/prelink set
PRELINKING=no
and run /sbin/prelink -u
rm /etc/prelink.conf (Just to be sure)
Better bypass
in /etc/sysconfig/prelink set
PRELINK_OPTS="-mR --no-exec-shield"
run /sbin/prelink -u
rm /etc/prelink.conf (Just to be sure)
/etc/cron.daily/prelink
