You are most welcome, Anthony. I ran across this method about 4 years ago to be able to update OpenOffice back then. Once you get past the basics of the terminal, I'm not knowledgeable.

Thanks! I'm guess that the "SUDO DPKG" command is meaning to extract the
files? i keep thinking there was something about a autogen.sh script (I
was reading about this somewhere on a compiling tuitorial) Doesn't LO
have such a thing?

Hi Anthony,

This is how I update to each new version of the Document Foundation
version of Libre Office. This is for the 64 bit version, but simply
substitute the 32 bit version for the 64 bit. This is for the latest
3.6.4.3 release:

Download LibO_3.6.4.3_Linux_x86-64_install-deb_en-US.tar.gz to the
desktop.
Right click on it and extract it to the desktop. This will give you the
folder LibO_3.6.4.3_Linux_x86-64_install-deb_en-US
Run the following terminal commands to install it:
1. sudo apt-get remove libreoffice*.*
2. sudo dpkg -i
~/Desktop/LibO_3.6.4.3_Linux_x86-64_install-deb_en-US/DEBS/*.deb
3. sudo dpkg -i
~/Desktop/LibO_3.6.4.3_Linux_x86-64_install-deb_en-US/DEBS/desktop-integration/libreoffice3.6-debian-menus_3.6.4-3_all.deb

I hope this helps you. This isn't exactly what you asked, but it does
work well for installing LibreOffice.

Hey guys



I'm back after what seems like ages! anyway encountered a problem which
is probably due to inexperience but anyhow.

I was wondering if there was a simple way to compile a Tar ball version
of LO on ubuntu? I've searched all documentation but its doing my head
in!



Cheers
