I had the same problem on ubuntu. What I did was:

- I get org-mode from git and install it in my ~/emacs/org-mode directory. 

$ cd ~/src/org-mode
$ make SHELL=/bin/bash prefix=/home/aitor/emacs/org-mode
$ make SHELL=/bin/bash prefix=/home/aitor/emacs/org-mode install

- In my .emacs, I have this:

(defun remove-org-dirs (dirs)
  "remove all list elements containing the matching '/org$'"
    (let ((result))
      (dolist (dir dirs)
        (unless (string-match "org\\'" dir)
          (setq result (cons dir result))))
      (nreverse result)))

(setq load-path (cons "~/emacs/org-mode/share/emacs/site-lisp"
		      (cons "~/emacs/org-contrib/lisp"
			    (remove-org-dirs load-path))))

The "remove-org-dirs" function removes any system directory for "org"
and thus makes sure that my copy of org-mode gets loaded.

Hope this helps,

                                        aitor
