I would strongly advise you not to mix rawhide and stable releases.
If you need libreoffice right now in f14, uninstall openoffice packages
and use the rpms from the libreoffice site. (However, the existing
openoffice packages in F14 should work just fine, so there really
shouldn't be any urgency).

I have installed libreoffice3 in Fedora 14.
It installed in /opt/libreoffice. But there is no /opt/libreoffice/bin
, how do you execute libreoffice ?

This might be better asked on the Fedora Test list.

Did you run it and pass the location of the redhat menus rpm? If
you're in the extracted directory, then it should be in a sub
directory called "desktop-integration".
In case email mangled the command, it should be:
yum localinstall --nogpgcheck
desktop-integration/libreoffice3.3-redhat-menus-3.3-6.noarch.rpm
Or you can go into that directory and just install
libreoffice3.3-redhat-menus-3.3-6.noarch.rpm (without the dir,
obviously).

So that would be 2 commands:

That would work.
yum install --nogpgcheck libreoffice3.3-redhat*
would work too since yum defaults to localinstall if the file name provided is a local
file
From the # man yum
***SNIP***
localinstall
Is used to install a set of local rpm files. If required the
enabled repositories will be used to resolve dependencies. Note
that the install command will do a local install, if given a
filename. This option is maintained for legacy reasons only.

Why wouldn't they put that libreoffice3.3-redhat-menus in with the rest
of the RPM's and install all at once ?
Thanks again guys.

Could be because they conflict with each other (and aren't required)?
They seem to be just the .desktop files to integrate into the
different distros so they are largely redundant. You would only want
to install the one that installed the .desktop files into the places
where your distro is likely to look for them.
I was under the impression that years ago, everyone came together
under the Freedesktop standard for this sort of thing. That was why I
installed the libreoffice3.3-freedesktop-menus rpm. That seemed to
work fine with Fedora 14 and I haven't run into any issues yet.
I just looked in the redhat-menus rpm with the archive manager and see
that there are extra directories getting installed with that package
... specifically /usr/share/mime-info, /usr/share/mimelnk,
/usr/share/applnk-redhat and /usr/share/application-registry. I looked
on my systems and very few applications have installed anything in
those menus ... glabels mainly ... and my system doesn't even *have*
applnk-redhat.
My question is: what kind of functionality (if any) am I missing if I
don't have the files included in those directories installed for
LibreOffice?
