I can open the file if I try another time. Are you still stuck here or you made some repairs and stuck elsewhere. The above error has nothing to do ox-odt.el or ox-jabref.el. It says your org-element.el is coming from some unexpected path. The problem is usually because of wrong installation. > Jambunathan has any ideas as to why his exporter is not working with my > set-up. It is difficult for me to imagine how you set up things. (There are so many moving parts). All I can say is this: "Not related to odt/jabref exporters. Something is related to how you have setup things". Nothing more. You will have better luck if 1. You start emacs with a blank .emacs 2. Install Org from ELPA. Once you have a working ox-odt.el setup, then you can make additional modifications to that setup and install ox-jabref.el. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Your best debug tools are 1. M-x find-library 2. M-x locate-library 3. M-x list-load-path-shadows. You can run the above commands vis-a-vis the following libraries 1. org-loaddefs 2. org-compat 3. org-element.el and investigate *for yourself* whether the paths are getting "mixed up". If you analyse the output, you will understand what I mean. Most likely there are stale or non-existent .elc files or the .elc files were generated against a stale library. IMO, starting from scratch (i.e., an empty .emacs) and installing Org via M-x list-packages is a sure way to have a working setup with minimal fuss.
