For what it's worth, I downloaded the tarball from Libreoffice, untarred it, did a cd into the directory of RPMS, then ran yum install *.rpm and it worked.
The binaries are in /opt/libreoffice4.0/program and have names like swriter, scalc and so on. I use dwm so don't know if it will show up in a Gnome or other Desktop Environment menu.
I also removed libreoffice3, just for neatness, once I was sure that libreoffice4 worked for me. This also worked (same rpms) on CentOS-6.3.
Hi I tried yum command and I get message [root@localhost psl1]# openoffice4 javaldx: Could not find a Java Runtime Environment! /opt/openoffice4/program/soffice.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libfreetype.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [root@localhost psl1]# java -version java version "1.7.0_79" OpenJDK Runtime Environment (fedora-2.5.5.0.fc20-x86_64 u79-b14) OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.79-b02, mixed mode) [root@localhost psl1]#

Or you can install using yum as a root user for selected office applications such as writer alone or calc alone. Using yum install libreoffice-writer or calc
Consider the following commands.
su -c yum group install libreoffice
or
su -c yum install libreoffice*
Above those two command installs everything, which can consumes the disk space.
I'd start trying with the rpms of Libreoffice 4.0 for Fedora 19 (check rpmfind.net).
If this doesn't work, because dependencies missing, I'd download the src.rpm of Libreoffice 4.0 for Fedora 19 and rebuild the package. Google this. It is probable you'd need to install some devel pacakges.
And if this doesn't work, look for the sources from Libreoffice.org
You must be clear that there is no warranty that this will work even if the installation goes ok.
Good luck
LibreOffice is part of the standard offering
From the command line do the following
su -c yum group install libreoffice
or
su -c yum install libreoffice*
You could do it as well via the graphical interface
