The following worked for me, however in a different environment (Gentoo
Linux with org-mode 8.2 installed via the package manager).  My Org 8.2
info file ended up in /usr/share/info/org, whereas the one packaged by
Emacs is in /usr/share/info/emacs-24.  I couldn't get the directory
settings in Emacs right, but the following worked:

I created my own info directory and prepended it to the INFOPATH
environment variable:

export INFOPATH="$HOME/.emacs.d/info:$INFOPATH"

In this directory, I created a symlink to the Org 8.2 info:

$ ls -l ~/.emacs.d/info
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 clange clange 19 Sep 14 15:20 org -> /usr/share/info/org

HTH,

Christoph
