Error converrting ODT document

[slcoleman]

I am using the stock Calibre 0.8.63 from the Fedora 17 distribution and have tried converting ODT (LibreOffice 3.5.6.2) to TEXT, EPUB, and MOBI as output, and all fail the convresion due to a "no attribute '_walknode'" error. Does anybody have a clue? I'm guessing it just can't handle ODF in this version of Calibre and am wondering if there is a newer version I should download and try.

The specific error info is below:

Dont use calibre from your distro. Install the official calibre binary from the calibre website.
