Yes, I removed OOo first and installed from the LO ppa. This is what I did to remove openoffice and install LibreOffice:
sudo apt-get remove --purge openoffice*.* sudo add-apt-repository ppa:libreoffice/ppa sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install libreoffice sudo apt-get install libreoffice-gnome There's instructions for different methods and discussion on OMG Ubuntu! http://tinyurl.com/5r7hfej I was using the full OOo suite before, I haven't tried using ODBC with LO yet though but I will at some point as I use it for merging now and again.
