Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Update to 3.6.1

Hi :)
Ahh, yes, most of the guide is about making sure none of the quick-starter or any other back-ground 
process is running.  The only problem with multiple versions is nothing to do with the actual 
install itself, it's about running them at the same time as that 'cant' be done yet afaik.  

It's interesting to hear that possibly pre-3.5.x can be run at the same time as a 3.5.x or later.  
I wonder if a AOO can be run at the same time as a 3.5.x or later too?  

Regards from
Tom :)

      This may also be a Windows problem. My tower uses Ubuntu 11.10 (64 
bit). Right now I have LO 3.4.6, 3.5.6, 3.6.1, AND AOO 3.4.1. Side note: If 
I want to run say 3.6.1 and 3.6.2 installing in parallel might be a good idea.
      I have found that I can not run 3.5.6 and 3.6.1 at the same time. Yet 
I can run either one of them with LO 3.4.6 or AOO 3.4.1. So I can have 
three different "soffice" instances running at the same time as long as two 
of them are 3.5 and 3.6. This is true even when I use these two:
/opt/libreoffice3.6/program/soffice
/opt/libreoffice3.5/program/soffice
