Hello,
Did a complete recipe ever surface to fix the issues with the odt exporter, as
described here:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2012-08/msg00459.html (copied
below)
I'm getting the following error when trying to export to odt:
"Cannot find factory styles file. Check package dir layout"
I've followed the various instructions mentioned in the above post,
specifically:
"As a workaround, I copied over the style files, manually
fixed "org-odt-styles-dir" and " org-export-odt-schema-dir" in
org-odt.el, and commented out the line which causes
problem (C)."
Unfortuneately this does nothing for me.
I'm using emacs and org-mode installed via apt-get in Ubuntu. Is there a better
way to do this that would avoid this issue?
Cheers,
Will.

I always had a problem in exporting org mode files to odt format
and finally I have found the reason of the problem and a solution.
I use org mode within emacs 23.3.1 on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
(all tools standard distribution).
The otd export elisp file is placed here:
/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/org-mode/org-odt.el
If I understand correctly, it searches for the styles and schemas
starting from there:
(defconst org-odt-lib-dir (file-name-directory load-file-name))
(defconst org-odt-styles-dir
(let* ((styles-dir1 (expand-file-name "../etc/styles/" org-odt-lib-dir))
(styles-dir2 (expand-file-name "./etc/styles/" org-odt-lib-dir))
...
(defcustom org-export-odt-schema-dir
(let ((schema-dir (expand-file-name
"../contrib/odt/etc/schema/" org-odt-lib-dir)))
....
This does not work with the configuration above, because:
A) the schema files are at a completely different location
B) the style files are entirely missing
C) the call to "load-file-name" for some reason fails, preventing
the whole file from being loaded
As a workaround, I copied over the style files, manually
fixed "org-odt-styles-dir" and " org-export-odt-schema-dir" in
org-odt.el, and commented out the line which causes
problem (C).
This works - but a more flexible solution should be found so
that org-odt does not break again.
I hope this can be useful to the org community - although it might
be that in the meantime somebody else already fixed the problem.
