I've tried this guide How do I install LibreOffice 4?

But I get this message

enter image description here

Can someone please explain why this is happening? And can someone tell me how to download it?

    @EricCarvalho No, this isn't a duplicate. I have edited the title to clarify that. – Seth Feb 09 '13 at 04:10
  • I hear using the .deb file does not work too well; it leaves out some Ubuntu-centric features. I found it best to force Ubuntu to upgrade to version 4.0 by typing the following in a terminal (press enter after each line). sudo add-apt-repository ppa:libreoffice/ppa
    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get dist-upgrade     If you don't have LibreOffice installed for whatever reason, then instead of the last line, type this. sudo apt-get install libreoffice     – HarlemSquirrel Apr 29 '13 at 17:58

You downloaded the .rpm file. .rpm is used by Fedora and Red Hat, but Ubuntu and Debian use .deb.

The correct command to un-tar this file would be: 

tar -xvzf LibreOffice_4.0.0_Linux_x86-64_rpm.tar.gz

Did you download using the links from my post? They link to the proper .deb files.
