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.
