What I did to get around this problem is the following (in init.el):

;; remove path to org shipped with emacs
(require 'cl)
(setq load-path (remove-if (lambda (x) (string-match-p "org$" x))
load-path))

;; remember this directory
(setq starter-kit-dir
      (file-name-directory (or load-file-name (buffer-file-name))))

;; add the orgmode.org ELPA package
(require 'package)
(add-to-list 'package-archives '("org" . "http://orgmode.org/elpa/") t)

(package-initialize)
(unless package-archive-contents    ;; Refrech the packages descriptions
  (package-refresh-contents))
(setq package-load-list '(all))     ;; List of packages to load
(unless (package-installed-p 'org-plus-contrib)  ;; Make sure the Org
package is
  (package-install 'org-plus-contrib))           ;; installed, install it
if not
(package-initialize)                ;; Initialize & Install Package

(add-to-list 'load-path (car (file-expand-wildcards (concat starter-kit-dir
"elpa/org-plus-contrib-*"))))
(require 'org)

;; load up the starter kit
(org-babel-load-file (expand-file-name "main.org" starter-kit-dir))

This solved the problem for me. I didn't come up with this though (I'm a
newb when it comes to Emacs and elisp) but I've copied it from somebody.

HTH,
