--- Comment #2 from V Stuart Foote <vstuart.foote at utsa.edu> ---
Why would you be using multiple versions without specifying discrete user
profiles for each LO instance?

Would think for your own sanity, only one version should be in the Applications
library--and certainly never with matching 'LibreOffice' program names.

Extract any other installer dmg where you like, then enter the archive and in
the Program directory edit bootstraprc config chaning the
$SYSUSERCONFIG/LibreOffice/4 --> $ORIGIN/../<whateverYouLike> 

LibreOffice profile created with an $ORIGIN path is internally relative to the
LO package archive.  The $SYSUSERCONFIG is to your os login--probably don't
want to routinely muddle your "daily" profile, with your "testing" build
specific profiles.

The "Installing in parallel/OS X" wiki article [1] may need some attention if
this is not clear. This looks to be the 'Old method'
