Hi,
I just upgraded to org-mode 7.8.03 (from 7.6) and now get this error
message when trying to use the org-odt converter. With version 7.6, I used
org-odt from contrib and that worked fine, so what is the reason for
this error?
I did see another post about this about installing "style files", but
what are these and how do I install them?
Thanks for any help (and thanks for the exporter!)!

It looks like one of your installation step is non-standard. There is an
easy workaround available but I would like to make sure that org-odt
auto-configures itself with minimal user intervention.
Please provide me information on
- how you downloaded the Org (git? tar file? elpa?)
- how did you compile. Did you do a make? Did you change the Makefile at
all?
- how did you install. Did you do a make install?
- What OS/Distrib are you using
Do you see debug messages from the org-odt module in the *Messages*
buffer. They will look something similar to this - one for schema files
and one for styles files.

I pulled the latest git version.

Make on unmodified Makefile, manually moved to /usr/local/share direcory.

Maybe I should tell org-odt to search for a libreoffice directory
instead?

The problem is that if you don't use the "make install" command, the
installed files don't know where to look for the etc/styles directory!
If you use "make install" with the appropriate "--prefix", you should be
okay. Or, at least, that's my understanding from a quick look at the
Makefile... ;-)
HTH,
eric

You MUST NOT copy files by hand. You MUST use 'make install' to copy the
files.
There are two variables - lispdir and datadir - that determine where the
lisp and styles files go. Here is the unmodified Makefile.
,---- Makefile
| # Where local software is found
| prefix=/usr/local
|
| # Where local lisp files go
| lispdir = $(prefix)/share/emacs/site-lisp
|
| # Where data files go
| # $(datadir) contains auxiliary files for use with ODT exporter.
| # See comments under DATAFILES.
| datadir = $(prefix)/share/emacs/etc
`----
If you do M-x locate-library RET org-odt RET on your current
installation, you are likely to see the following message:
,----
| Library is file "/usr/local/share/emacs/org-mode" as directory.
`----
Based on the above setting, you can modify the default lispdir as
follows:
,---- Makefile
| # Where local lisp files go
| lispdir = $(prefix)/share/emacs/org-mode <================
|
| # Where data files go
| # $(datadir) contains auxiliary files for use with ODT exporter.
| # See comments under DATAFILES.
| datadir = $(prefix)/share/emacs/etc
`----
The style files will then get automatically get copied to
/usr/local/share/emacs/etc.
It's NOT important what the values for lispdir and datadir are. What is
VERY IMPORTANT is that you use "make install" to copy the files.

I am on Windows. I don't use any of the Gnu/Linuxes.
I am not sure what Fedora policy for installation is. May be org-7.8.03
hasn't hit Fedora yet and that's the reason why you chose to download
and install by hand.
FYI, Gentoo uses the following values for lispdir and datadir.
prefix = /usr
lispdir = $(prefix)/share/emacs/site-lisp/org-mode/
datadir = $(prefix)/share/emacs/etc/org-mode/

Thanks Jambunathan and Eric for your advice! This seems completely
reasonable and a self induced error; I will try reinstall with this
method in a couple of days and improve my makefile-editing / git
updating skills!
Cheers
