I added the following to my local.mk ORG_ADD_CONTRIB = org-e-*
so when I do "make autoloads" (running from the git directory and without compiling), it copies (among others) contrib/lisp/org-e-odt.el to lisp/: ,---- | $ make autoloads | make -C lisp autoloads | make[1]: Entering directory `/home/nick/src/emacs/org/org-mode/lisp' | rm -f org-version.el org-loaddefs.el org-version.elc org-loaddefs.elc | install -m 644 -p ../contrib/lisp/org-e-ascii.el ../contrib/lisp/org-e-beamer.el ../contrib/lisp/org-e-groff.el\ | ../contrib/lisp/org-e-html.el ../contrib/lisp/org-e-latex.el ../contrib/lisp/org-e-man.el\ | ../contrib/lisp/org-e-odt.el ../contrib/lisp/org-e-publish.el ../contrib/lisp/org-e-texinfo.el . | org-version: 7.9.2 (release_7.9.2-382-g1ef9ee) `---- When I then try to org-reload, I get an error because org-e-odt.el restricts the path of the style file to one of three choices (../../etc/styles, ../../etc/org, ../etc/org) relative to where org-e-odt.el is found. None of these is satisfactory in this context: it would have to be ../etc/styles. Nick
