with Fedora 21 I have been using the standard Fedora release, but, if 
you do not, I think that you can remove the existing using yum...

Is it installed?

yum list installed | grep "libreoffice"

I expect that you can remove it using

yum remove libreoffice*

I have always used "yum localinstall *.rpm" to install the RPMs after I 
extract the code.

Last time I did this, there was a GUI integration driectory under the 
standard RPM directory. I changed to that directory  and installed the 
RPM meant for UI integration for gnome. I don't remember what that is 
called off hand, or even if it is still required. I don't have time now 
to download and check the RPMs, but, if you send a list of RPMs, I can 
tell you which one it is.
