Dear Achim,
Thanks a lot for your help!

I tried both adding (require 'org) and (require 'org-loaddefs) to ~/.emacs but they both make no difference to this problem, I still get the error
call-interactively: Symbol's value as variable is void: err
Instead, adding the following to ~/.emacs does work, but this seems to be just a hack. Should I really use this?
(load-library "org-compat.el")
(load-library "org-odt.el")

Does this mean there are possibly more things that did not load as they should?
Thanks a lot again!
Best wishes,
Torsten

Yes, that problem is apparently someplace else. I'll let Jambunathan have a go
first.

If the problem is where I think it is, then a (require 'org-compat) should be a
valid workaround until the final fix is in Org.

The combination of the version of Org in your version of Emacs and a more recent
Org can't be expected to work correctly in all cases unless you add one of the
requires I've shown.

Achim.

This is how org-compat.el gets loaded. The load sequence is triggered
by
emacs -Q -L /org/path
M-x load-library RET org-odt RET.

So org-odt indirectly requires org-compat. In OP's case, the org-compat
is provided by older library that comes with Vanilla Emacs.

Even though it may have no bearing in this case: AFAICS it uses a macro from
org-compat directly, so it shouldn't rely on other files to pull in that
definition, it should require it directly.

Unless I'm missing something, this is only possible if it gets loaded before the
load-path to the new Org is set up. If so, a (require 'org-compat) would not
correct the situation, while a (load-library "org-compat") would. I would like
to see the value of load-history on the OP's box after an
emacs -Q -L /path/to/org
if possible.
Regards,
Achim.
