Hi,

if you did not compile emacs yourself, you at least have to change:

----------
prefix=/usr
----------

You can list your emacs binaries like this:
$ ls -l /usr/bin/emacs*

If installing for emacs-snapshot, you need to change in addition:
----------
lispdir = $(prefix)/share/emacs-snapshot/site-lisp/org-mode
infodir = $(prefix)/share/info
----------


Also note that the shipped install-info targets do not work on Ubuntu,
I add this to the Makefile:

,----[ Makefile ]
! install-info-ubuntu: $(INFOFILES)
!       if [ ! -d $(infodir) ]; then $(MKDIR) $(infodir); else true; fi ;
!       $(CP) $(INFOFILES) $(infodir)
!       $(INSTALL_INFO) --infodir=$(infodir) $(INFOFILES)
`----
Then run:
 $ sudo make install-info-ubuntu
