Installing Apache agent as root?

Is there any known problems with installing the dT Apache agent as root?

We have a prospect who runs everything on their linux box as root, and while the file permissions look correct (and match what's stated in the doc), when Apache is started we get an error:

Cannot load ...libdtapacheagent22.so into server. /path/.../libdtapcheagent22.so: cannot open shared object file: Permission denied

root user can write into the dynaTraceWebServerSharedMemory file.

Root owns everything in the directory tree of the dT agent.

It has been confirmed to be an incompatibility with SELinux. Once SE was disabled, then the apache agent loaded fine.

Mike Aumiller was the SE on this issue.

One additional observable: This system is running SELinux. While I've never seen this behavior before with SELinux, I've also never tried to run Apache from ROOT on SELinux.
