Please, you should have searched *also* the mailing 
list archieve: (e.g. in gmane: "older org version" ). 
This string is easier than mine, isn't it?

Then you would have found that:

why do you need to install it with make?

Org mode works even if you only:

1. Make a directory: ~/org/
2. unzip/ untar the file org-YOUR-version.zipTar
3. configure org in your .emacs:
   (setq load-path (cons "~/org/lisp" load-path))
4. for info:
   (add-to-list 'Info-default-directory-list "~/org/doc")
   [source: http://doc.norang.ca/org-mode.htm]
5. Read and follow the manual 
   eg: add the correct line  (require 'org) or 
   (require 'org-install). I don't remeber.

This will *not* byte compile your files but I use not compiled 
files and it's fine for me. 

If you want to byte compile use this brute force approach:

$ emacs -e "(progn (byte-force-recompile \"~/org/lisp\")
            (byte-force-recompile \"~/org/lisp\" ))
