I finally got LibreOffice 3.3 install and function properly in SL6. It appears you need to install the Java Platform Standard Edition Runtime Environment. Without it, at least on my laptop, LibreOffice Writer or spreadsheet would start to open but close immediately. I used jre-1.6.0_22-fcs. The nice thing about LibreOffice 3.3 is it can export docx documents. Thought I'd pass this along. Best regards, Bob
