Using the git version too, I had lots of trouble with mixed installs.
Therefore the first thing I do is deleting the org folder in the emacs
installation, although I have been told on this list this would be a
recipe for desaster (since autoloads will be messed up or so ...).
But desaster never happened, in fact I did not have any misterious
problems with (multiple) org-mode(s) on my machine anymore since then.

I just replace the installation org-mode folder with a symlink to the
git folder and add a 'subdirs.el' to the git folder, then it works.

hm, that's an option.

based on your suggestion I created now my own little makefile to install the git org-mode and directly over-write the one located in /Applications/Emacs.app/Resources/lisp/org . actually, I first delete all files in this org directory and install the one from git into the dir again.

thanks!
