139 Untaring the libreoffice-core-&libreoffice-dlversion; tarball as
140 <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> has the curious effect of
141 changing the ownership of the <emphasis>parent</emphasis> directory
142 to a user with numerical id 11012 and with the permissions set to allow
143 read, write and execute for that user only! If you untared as
144 <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> in your home folder you
145 could end up unable to log in again :/ If you untared it in
146 <filename class="directory">/usr</filename> you would find your user
147 account unable to access any file in
148 <filename class="directory">/usr</filename>.

152 You can avoid this unpleasantness by
153 <emphasis>not</emphasis> untaring it as

156 <option>--no-overwrite-dir</option> to tar. This is the default when you
157 untar as a user but has to be passed as an option when untaring as

248 <application>binfilter</application> requires
249 <application>Java</application>.

268
269 <para>
270 <option>--disable-postgresql-sdbc</option>: This option disables compiling
271 LibreOffice with the ability to connect to a PostgreSQL database. If you
272 would like LibreOffice to be able to connect to a PostgreSQL database
273 remove this option. If you have installed PostgreSQL on your system and
274 would like LibreOffice to use that rather than compile its own copy, add
275 the option <option>--with-system-postgresql</option>.
