I don't know about other systems, but oolatex is not on the excecution path of Debian - you need to use the full path or put in a symbolic link somewhere on your execution path. The other problem is that there is (was?) a bug in tex4ht that requires you to use the actual Sun Java JRE. The substitute that comes with most Linux distributions leaves an empty .odt document. I have converted quite large documents using this package: 600+ page books with multiple indexes and a zillion cross-references.
