Re: [libreoffice-users] Help needed to downgrade libreoffice on Redhat, due to bug in version 4 that prevents viewing of EPS images in slideshow.

Steve - I did previously try to install 
LibO_3.6.5_Linux_x86-64_install-rpm_en-US.tar.gz, but when I untarred 
that file, I get this rpm:

libobasis3.6-sdk-3.6.7.2-2.x86_64.rpm

And when I try to install that, I get the following error message:

Examining libobasis3.6-sdk-3.6.7.2-2.x86_64.rpm: 
libobasis3.6-sdk-3.6.7.2-2.x86_64

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

So I'm not sure what to do after that. - Mark
