FYI: in the meanwhile I have solved the problem below. I retried the whole process in a virtual machine (ubuntu 19.10), and there I do get an interactive configuration script. I suspect that there is something misconfigured or broken on my machine that has nothing to do with LibreOffice, and that makes the interactive prompt not work as it should. Thanks again for your help.

Thanks, then I know at the least that I did not do something wrong... Running the script was the first thing I tried. Do you happen to know who wrote (or maintains) that configuration script - or is there a way in which I can find that out? Then I can try to contact this person. I will also try what happens when I run the most recent version of the SDK and ask some other people to install it as well on their machines to see what happens.
