This evaluation can be found in my init file. I can evaluate this manually without any problem.

The variable is not defined. Thus, I guess I'm facing the following case in your answer:

Returns:
Library is file ~/.emacs.d/elpa/org-plus-contrib-20130930/org.elc

Returns (I hope I collected only the relevant entries):
/Users/user_name/.emacs.d/elpa/org-plus-contrib-20130930/org hides /Users/user_name/.emacs.d/elpa/org-20130930/org

I guess that the above output suggests that org-mode is properly installed (via ELPA), isn't it? I'm afraid that I am not hinted by this output.

What further steps can I take?
