Are you in the right directory? The above assumes that you are in the top-level
org directory and there are subdirectories ./lisp and ./testing. The testing/
subdirectory should contain org-test.el. Does it?

In particular, assuming you *are* in the right directory, if you try to
execute the first part of the command from the command line:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
TMPDIR=/tmp/tmp-orgtest emacs -batch -Q --eval '(add-to-list '"'"'load-path "./lisp")' --eval ' (add-to-list '"'"'load-path "./testing")' -l org-install.el -l testing/org-test.el
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

you should get no errors.

If you are missing org-test.el, then your install is incomplete.  In
that case, you'll have to tell us what method you used to install.

BTW, I use git and track both the master and maint branches: I get no
errors on either of them with the most recent bits.
