I downloaded the installer from the LibreOffice web site. I was logged-in to
the machine as the Admin user and I followed the insall instructions. The final
step is to drag the icon from the left of the dialogue box to the right (into
the applications folder). I think this creates the new isntance with the Owner
and Group relating to the user I was logged in as. When I realised the other
non-admin users on the system would not be able to see the LibreOffice app I
checked the properties (using ls -lah) and saw that all the other apps were
root:wheel (don't ask me why...). So all I did was chown root:wheel and that
fixed the problem. Maybe the icon dragging is the key issue - not sure if there
is a work-around to that. If not, just a note in the documentation would do for
people like me who are setting up a multi-user machine (you'd expect a level of
competency to use command line).
