Thanks very much for your help on this.  LibO-Dev is successfully installed
and
I have tested for the bug I've been following (no surprise that it is still
there).

Cor has put a comment on the website to reassure that this installation
does not
interfere with the current stable version, but I still think I would have
been in
difficulties without your help.

Thanks again,

Tony
