Thanks Manish, that's a considerable help. I'm very glad to be told
about the norang site.
My .emacs didn't have (require 'org-install) because this was the file
before running make.

Org-mode loads now and mostly works, but I cannot export to latex.
When I do C-c C-e l
(or L or p) I get the message `Loading tabify ...done' and emacs
freezes. No cursor movement,
no response to input.  Doing C-g unfreezes but there is no .tex
output. HTML export works fine.

Somebody asked about this problem back in January at
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2009-01/msg00104.html
but there was no solution. Does anyone know what causes this?

The *Message* file follows. Chas
