Hi When installing the org 9.4.4 I noticed that the defintion of org-odt-data-dir isn't correct. It is: (defvar org-odt-data-dir (expand-file-name "../../etc/" org-odt-lib-dir) It should be: (defvar org-odt-data-dir (expand-file-name "../../etc/org/" org-odt-lib-dir) To reproduce, make prefix=/test/install-26/org/install make prefix=/test/install-26/org/install install emacs -q M-: (add-to-list 'load-path "/test/install-26/org/install/emacs/site-lisp/org") M-: (require 'ox-odt) C-h v org-odt-styles-dir look at the value of org-odt-styles-dir without the above fix it will point at the system installation and not the "test" install.
