I'm not running Fedora, I'm running PCLOS, (32-bit)  but I have  LO and 
OO and Symphony all installed, and I didn't have to remove anything.
PCLOS is a KDE distro. I got LO first, of course, since it's "almost" 
built in to every Linux distro nowadays, and I downloaded OO with an RPM,
and Symphony the same. (Symphony is a cousin of OO,)  I don't know if 
this helps you, but it's for your information, anyway.
