While it's a good idea to do a full parallel install, it's not necessary in this case. The OP has LO 3.3 from his package manager, so all that he actually needs to do is download the .deb packages, extract, install, and before starting LO, modify the bootstraprc script to reflect a different profile location. This is what I use for 3.4: $ cat /opt/libreoffice3.4/program/bootstraprc [Bootstrap] BaseInstallation=${OOO_BASE_DIR} InstallMode=<installmode> ProductKey=LibreOffice 3.4 UserInstallation=$SYSUSERCONFIG/.libreoffice3.4/3 [ErrorReport] ErrorReportPort=80 ErrorReportServer= $ gksu gedit /opt/libreoffice3.4/program/bootstraprc will do the job if on GNOME, kdsdudo & whatever KDE uses in place of gedit will do the same. Note that I've modified the profile location to '/.libreoffice3.4/3'. That way the 3.4 profile won't interfere with the Ubuntu default of '/.libreoffice/3'. I use "3.4" as I also have other LO versions installed in /opt (3.3 etc). > > On 2 November 2011 09:49, ahalin <ahalinaha...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> Can you install 3.4 alongside 3.3 in Linux (Ubuntu 11.04 in my case).
