I saw comment #3. Did you resolve the glibc dependency issues & then try
3.3.4?

Title:
  [Upstream] LibreOffice hangs for 30+ seconds when connected to the
  Internet

Status in LibreOffice Productivity Suite:
  Confirmed
Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: libreoffice

  LibreOffice: long load time when connected to the internet. Loading
  bar hangs at earliest stage.

  WORKAROUND: add "127.0.0.1 hostname localhost hostname.(none)"
  (without quotes) to /etc/hosts.

  The issue is that ever since OpenOffice 3.2.1 (NOT 3.2.0), the
  application attempts to use a hacky protocol to connect to the
  internet instead of the host's machine for some reason at an early
  stage during its load. Equally strange is that it only rears its head
  in kubuntu, as far as I know.

  Problem existed since Kubuntu 10.04 including latest up-to-date 11.04,
  all architectures, OpenOffice versions 3.2.1 through LibreOffice
  3.3.1. When offline, the problem does not appear at all. Multiple
  resolutions, systems, graphics cards, architectures, packages tested,
  all with same result.

  It is unlikely that the software transmits enough information to any
  resolvable location on the internet to comprise a security breach, but
  the possibility of erroneously transmitting user information across
  the internet instead of the local machine may comprise a risk of some
  sort. Also, recall that Oracle took over OpenOffice at the first
  version that exhibits this strange, crippling showstopper, so cause
  for alarm (paranoia) may be warranted, though it is highly unlikely.
