Problem loading org-odt [Re: Release 7.6]

Problem loading org-odt [Re: Release 7.6]

[Pere Quintana Seguí]

Hello,

I was very happy to see the new release with ODT support. This is great.

I downloaded org-mode 7.6 and installed it as I always do.

1. Untar
2. Copy to ~/.emacs.d/lisp/
3. make
4. Modify ~/e.macs.d/org.el (which is loaded from init.el)

(setq load-path (cons "~/.emacs.d/lisp/org-7.6/lisp" load-path))
(require 'org-install)

5. Restart Emacs and modify the org-modules variable with the
Customize menu option, which added the following line to init.el:

(custom-set-variables

... stuff ...

 '(org-modules (quote (org-bbdb org-bibtex org-docview org-gnus org-id
org-info org-jsinfo org-irc org-mew org-mhe org-rmail org-vm org-wl
org-w3m org-odt)))

... stuff

)

5. Then I loaded an org file and tried to export: C-c C-e o, and I got
the following message: =Cannot open load file: org-odt=

I'm sure I'm missing something very simple.

Any idea?

Thanks,

Pere

It's in contrib, so you need to add one more thing to your load path:

(add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d/lisp/org-7.6/contrib/lisp")

org-odt.el is in $org/contrib/lisp/, so you must add that to load-path
as well.

Thanks Nick! That was easy and simple.

I didn't know org-odt. I just tested it and it is impressive.

Thanks to those that made it possible.
