Installing 2 versions of LO on Mac OS X 10.10.1 Yosemite

Just so you understand, installed that way--i.e. with each version of
LibreOffice using the default UserInstallation= variable of
$SYSUSERCONFIG--all the installations will be sharing a single user profile.
It will be located in /Users/<username>/Library/Application
Support/LibreOffice/4 configurations and features will bleed over between
the installs.

If you want to isolate each of the installations (which is the norm for
working with multiple installs) rather than using the $SYSUSERCONFIG
variable, instead using the $ORIGIN variable places the user profile
relative to its supported application package. The install and user profile
are combined, and isolated from the other installs. Important if you are
testing features and different configurations or extensions.

    Thanks for the clarification. I guessed there might be a problem like that.

    Unfortunately, I still do not understand how to produce the isolation you recommend.
