This is SELinux causing you grief mate. Check the AVC errors using the
'dmesg' command as Jason suggested.

As a temporary solution, you could turn off SELinux and try to run the
install again (type 'setenforce 0' in a shell). After the install has
gone through, try re-enabling SELinux ('setenforce 1') and see if you
can run the app.

In any case, this might be something that should be added to the SELinux
policies, so please report back the AVC errors.
