anyone installed libreoffice 3.4.0 on ubuntu 11.04?
i'm interested in some of the new features in libreoffice 3.4.0, and
i can see that there are new .deb format packages here:
http://www.libreoffice.org/download/
i grabbed the two tarballs for 64-bit linux, un-gzipped them and can
see that the install tarball produces some 54 .deb packages. i
already have the current (3.3.2) version of libreoffice on this
system; are there any issues with installing the 3.4.0 packages as
well? has anyone done this, and can verify that they can co-exist
peacefully? thanks.

I have the LO versions of 3.3 and 3.4 installed in /opt, and the
standard Ubuntu'ized version installed in /usr. You just can't run them
at the same time. That last bit is interesting as on my maverick system
I can run multiple versions of OOo as well as a single LO all at the
same time. On maverick I have:

Sorted out why I couldn't run multiple versions - I'd forgotten to
modify the bootstraprc file. I can now run (U)LO 3.3.2, LO 3.3.2, and LO
3.4.1 - all at the same time.
Just download the .deb (including the help .deb). In nautilus, right
click on the .tz and select 'Extract here'. Then go to:
LibO_3.4.1rc3_Linux_x86_install-deb_en-US/DEBS in a terminal and:
$ sudo dpkg -i *.deb
Do the same for the help files:
LibO_3.4.1rc3_Linux_x86_helppack-deb_en-US/DEBS
After you've installed (again in the terminal):
$ cd /opt/libreoffice3.4/program
$ gksu gedit bootstraprc
Modify the following line:
UserInstallation=$SYSUSERCONFIG/.libreoffice/3
to
UserInstallation=$SYSUSERCONFIG/.libreoffice3.4/3
Save the file & exit gedit. This will have LO 3.4 use the
~/.libreoffice3.4/3 for your user profile and will not interfere with
your existing Ubuntu LO 3.3 at ~/.libreoffice/3.
Again in the terminal:
$ /opt/libreoffice3.4/program/soffice
