I gave up on LibreOffice one or two versions ago. It kept crashing.

Today, a new version showed up on CNET so I decided to give it a try. After installing it and attempting to launch for the first time, I got this message:

Despite your profile info, you must be running 10.8/Mountain Lion, right?

All you are seeing is the standard response based on your settings in the Security Pref panel Change that to the last option and you can install/open LibreOffice (and any other app from who knows where!) without further delay. wink.gif I would advise then re-setting the prefs to Apple Store only or App Store and identified developers. yes.gif BTW, this behavior is called Gatekeeper by Apple.

Thank you, sir! That did the trick!

I put the preference back when I was done and I updated my profile info.

My computer just does not like LibreOffice. Previous versions crashed, so I got rid of it. This latest version stalled when I launched it and then got even worse when trying to open a document. After quitting the app my computer acted like it was possessed.

I ran Cocktail and trashed LibreOffice. Now things are back to normal.

I'll stick with OpenOffice. It works.
