Brian,

Having got some similar holes in my feet I install in my /home directory.

In my Makefile I have:

# Where local software is found
prefix=~/emacs

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

In my .emacs:

(setq load-path (cons "~/emacs/org" load-path))

Thus any mistakes only affect my /home directory an so are more easily 
fixed. If you are the only user of the computer, this method works well.

Ian.
