Re: [libreoffice-users] Installing a vanilla copy of LO

Well the answer to that question is on the Linux install page as well. 
You just have to use the proper file name[s].

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

-------------------------

4) The above command(s) does the first part of the installation process. 
To complete the process, you also need to install the desktop 
integration packages. To do this, change directory to the 
desktop-integration directory that is within the RPMS directory, by 
entering the following command at the command line of a terminal window:

cd desktop-integration

Now run the installation command again:

If you have a Suse system, execute this command:

su -c 'rpm -Uvh install libreoffice3.3-suse-menus-3.3-1.noarch.rpm'
