The selinux context is incorrect:

 ls -Z
-rwxr-xr-x  justin   justin   user_u:object_r:user_home_t
flashplayer.xpt
-rwxr-xr-x  justin   justin   user_u:object_r:user_home_t
libflashplayer.so

Changed to

chcon system_u:object_r:texrel_shlib_t

 ls -Z
-rwxr-xr-x  justin   justin   system_u:object_r:textrel_shlib_t
flashplayer.xpt
-rwxr-xr-x  justin   justin   system_u:object_r:textrel_shlib_t
libflashplayer.so
