Hi :)
I downloaded the .Deb for Ubuntu (and others) twice yday and tried
installing it as per instructions but when i tried running LibreOffice
from the command-line by typing in
libreoffice
I got an error message saying that LibreOffice couldn't run because i
was missing a package called something like
libreoffice-common
when i looked through all the packages in the Deb and desktop
integration
folders i found there was one! I'm sure it's been there in previous
releases?! However when i double-click on a docX or odt or anything
then LibreOffice 4 does successfully open it.
So, it's a bit weird but doesn't seem to be problem unless i try that
odd
way of opening LO in a way that i would never normally have tried
unless i wanted to try to collect error reports and stuff (ie never).

I confirm the CLI libreoffice gives the error missing
libreoffice-common run sudo apt-get libreoffice-common.
This was using LO 4.0 (direct download) and Mint 13 Maya. All the
features have beens installed including help-pack and SDK
LO 4.0 does run when menu or file is clicked.
What is the CLI entry to run LO 4.0 in Linux I think is the question.
Command line to run LO 4.0 (or earlier versions as well) in linux:
/opt/libreoffice4.0/program/soffice. (Note, you could use sbase, scalc,
etc. instead of soffice.)
When Ubuntu installs it version of LO, it puts a script that
starts LO in Path$. So, if you want to use the command line, add
/opt/libreoffice4.0/program to Path$. Then use sbase, scalc, sdraw,
simpress, or soffice in the command line. Ubuntu will know what to do
with it.
What I do is to add a menu to the top panel. Within it, I have the
icons (tools?) that will open the particular version of a program such
as LO that I want. You have to edit the Applications menu first creating
a new menu. Then add the new menu to the top panel. (There is a little
more to do with this though.)
