i did not understand what is said above
i see libreoffice demanded 9 Gb space in the var/tmp
so is it going to make 9Gb of software to be compiled and installed?
all this night it may take to do just that 
edit:
ha i just saw a post before i put this reply
now it has vanished !!!

See the 1037488k listed under "Cached" in the top display. All that memory is actually free to be used but Linux remembers what's in it so that, if it's requested again, it doesn't have to be read again from disk. Don't worry; this is normal behavior and is actually good for performance.
For your second question, libreoffice is a monster. There are some recent reports that it doesn't take quite that much anymore (since the fork from openoffice) to compile, but it does take a lot.
