Hi, Possible checks: What value do you have for org-odt-convert-processes? Does the command it provide launch LibreOffice services on your system?
On my Mac, the default "soffice" command is not recognized out of the box; providing the full path to soffice ("/Applications/LibreOffice.app/Contents/MacOS/soffice") helps. Also, it only seems to work when LibreOffice isn't already running, though I may be wrong about that (I just tried this for the first time). Yours, Christian Julian M.
