Do you see any SELinux denials? Dropbox people managed (again) to ship badly built libraries with their program. The file _ctypes.so in the .dropbox-dist directory is (falsely) marked as requiring an executable stack which causes the program start to fail. I just checked the latest stable version (x86-64) downloaded from their website and it's still broken. You can manually clear the execstack flag of the so, though. $ execstack -c /path/to/your/.dropbox-dist/_ctypes.so Dropbox should now be able to run. You may want to file a bug report with them.
