Hi :)

I found the link for installing on linux.  It looks complicated because the page 
currently covers at least 2 of the major families of linux distros.  

http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/installation/linux

Please ask for help because we have only just written this guide recently and it 
still needs a bit of proof-reading (probably).  Some people are talking about 
splitting it onto more than 1 page so that each family can follow the relevant 
instructions more easily.  Anything you can suggest about how to improve the 
page could be a big help :)

Good luck and regards from
Tom :)

Hi :)

The new LibreOffice was only released yesterday and is much easier to install 
than the RC (beta versions).  Did you download today or yesterday or much 
earlier?

There are instructions on one of our documentation pages but i seem to have lost 
the link.  Have you had any luck searching our documentation on how to install 
in linux?

Good luck, apols and regards from
Tom :)

Subject: [libreoffice-users] Installation instruction for source code

Hi!

Forgive me if this question has already been asked, but I didnt't find
an answer after a quick search in the archives of this list.

How does one install LibreOffice from the source tarballs ? Are there
some instructions somewhere ?

There are 21 different files. Do they all need to be downloaded  ?
And then, what should I do ?
Should they be combined in a giant directory or processed separately ?

I presume the next stage will be to do some invocation of

./configure
make
make install

I'm a little confused by the number of files to download. Wouldn't it
be simpler to just provide one giant archive, like it is done for the
different binary platforms ?
