No ideas about the problem but I do have a solution that might work for you
and bypass most of the problems. I don't "install" org at all: I just add
the appropriate paths (/path/to/org/lisp and /path/to/org/contrib/lisp) to
load-path. Similarly, I don't "install" the info file: I just added the
appropriate path to INFOPATH (which is set in my .profile, which is sourced
by some gdm startup script, so its settings are valid by the time my emacs
is started - YMMV). In summary:
o Set in .profile:
INFOPATH=/path/to/org/doc:$INFOPATH
export INFOPATH
o In the org git directory, after every git pull:
make info
HTH,
Nick
