Re: [libreoffice-users] Problem with

Hi Stephen,

I've been running LibreOffice on Ubuntu for a number of years. Presently 
13.10 with LibreOffice 4.1.3.2 directly from the Document Foundation 
with no issues. It sounds to me like you may not have gotten all of the 
old version deleted. Strange things can happen if the old version has 
not been completely removed, especially if you are going from a 
repository version to a Document Foundation version. This article may be 
of assistance to get a clean removal of everything in your system for 
LibreOffice:
http://askubuntu.com/questions/180403/how-to-uninstall-libreoffice

To install the Document Foundation Version after doing the above steps, 
I downloaded LibreOffice directly from
http://www.libreoffice.org/download

extracted it to my desktop,, and then ran the following in the terminal:
sudo dpkg -i ~/Desktop/LibreOffice_4.1.3.2_Linux_x86-64_deb/DEBS/*.deb

Hope this helps.

Don
