Hello!
Today I tried to install LibreOffice-3.5. and it seems to compile
fine, but fails to install.
Here is one of the error messages:

Any good pointers for best practices for this kind of thing?
Thanks again...

If you need to allow just one single user to access just one single
directory, you are better off with using Posix ACLS (NOT regular
owner, group and perms - that almost never works out right for www data)
Depends. On a multi-user server I maintain, where every user has a
