I've not used `make up2`, so I can't comment on how that's working. It
might help if you clearly listed the specific steps you used to get
orgmode from git. My process, for example, is:

- cd ~/.elisp
- git clone http://orgmode.org/org-mode.git org.git
- cd org.git
- make clean && make && make doc

I don't `make install`. You'll need to tell emacs where to run org
from via your .emacs. Mine has this line:

,---
| (add-to-list 'load-path "~/.elisp/org.git/lisp")
`---

Lastly, someone suggested I run this when I was having trouble getting
org setup on my Mac with an out of date version despite having done
the git thing:

,---
| M-x locate-library <RET> org <RET>
`---

This will show you what path emacs *thinks* org is at, despite where
you think it *should* be looking.

ETA: I see some other emails came in. And yes, per Nick, make sure you
set the load path *before* requiring org! I made that mistake once --
quite frustrating :)


Good luck!
