There should be a problem with hostname resolution,
Unfortunately CERTI is using the obsolete "gethostbyname" call which
is probably failing because it cannot translate hostname to @IP.

When you want CERTI to show more information about created exception
you could

$ export CERTI_EXCEPTION=X

then re-execute rtig, you should see more information.

In order to check if local hostname resolution is Ok you can try the
following command:

$ host `hostname`
or
$ ping  `hostname`

if one of those command are failing then fix your name resolution
(possibly by editing /etc/hosts file)

I don't think SELinux is the issue.
If it was you could launch the 'sealert' tool which should show you
SELinux-related alert.

This is not related to the rtig crash since rtig does not link to any X11 libs.
The missing x11 parts may be installed on Fedora using:

yum install xorg-x11-bitmaps.

Attaching files to the ML is ok if they are not too big ( < 10Ko)
if the file is bigger then put it on some site and put the url.

You can use any pastebin site, provided you do not copy/paste
sensible informations:
http://www.reversecurity.com/2011/05/dangers-of-pastebin-sites.html

Or you may open a bug report on the certi tracker:
https://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?group=certi

and attach the file to the tracker.
