Back to 3.3 for me.


Got exactly the same errors. Fortunately, after 3.4 Beta 1, I tried it 
first in a Virtual Machine (Ubuntu 11.04 Beta 2 in VirtualBox) so I 
still have 3.3.2 safely installed and working on my real machine!

Sadly, Ed Drinkwater tried to bring up the suggestion that Betas should
not replace exisiting LO installations on the developers list & was met
with negative/childish responses from some of the developers - see:
<http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.documentfoundation.libreoffice.devel/9783>
[Installing beta versions replacing stable versions]

I found some of the responses unacceptable & posted my opinion in the
thread:
<http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.documentfoundation.libreoffice.devel/9830>

Odd that OOo has no problems building a beta build using a -dev install
parameter, but LO seems to think this is 'difficult' and/or something of
a mistery.

For others that wish to muck about with LO Beta's, I recommend
installing in a parallel/sandbox rather than messing up your entire
system. Instructions are here:

http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Installing_in_parallel
Note: not tried those, but I've always used:
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Run_OOo_versions_parallel
and those have always worked well for me.

Added note: when you've multiple versions of the same LO/OOo application
installed, I've found that it's best to just modify the
/program/bootstraprc to point to a new ~/ user profile. For example I'd
change ~/.openoffice.org to ~/.openoffice.org3 for the modified verision.

LO devs need to learn how to install their beta/RC's as
/opt/libreoffice-dev and autocreate the user profile as ~/.lo-dev or
similar. It's not rocket science & certainly if OOo can do it, LO can as
well. That said, I'd just be happy to see installable 3.4 Betas at this
point...
