I would suggest that unless you need org to be available to all users on 
your computer, you install it somewhere in your home directory. I 
install org in #/.emacs-lisp/org and my makefile looks like:

# Name of your emacs binary
EMACS=emacs

# Where local software is found
prefix=~/.emacs-lisp

# Where local lisp files go.
lispdir = $(prefix)/org

Also what OS are you using - Linux, Windows, Mac?

Ian.
