PaX - for libs?

Question

I have managed out how PaX works. But I can't let 'scrot' save screenshots due to giblib error: Saving to file * failed

How to change flags for libs? Exciting.

When PaX enforces or relaxes a feature, it does so on the basis of the executable's flags, not those of the libraries it links against.

So what do I do? Relaxing scrot completely doesn't work. – NapoleonTheCake Sep 25 '16 at 06:32
@Napoleon I was pointing out that you can't apply PaX to libraries. If paxctl -pemrxs scrot doesn't work then that's probably a new question. – Chris Davies Sep 25 '16 at 07:40
