Try:
sudo make .install-info while in the org directory and see what happens.

When I run make install I am getting the following error:

The ~/.emacs.d/src/info exists and is writable. The file
/.emacs.d/src/org-mode/doc/org exists and looks like an info file. I have
install-info installed.

Running:

install-info --infodir=~/.emacs.d/src/info org

from the directory containing org gives the following error:

~/.emacs.d/src/info/dir: could not read (No such file or directory) and could
not create (No such file or directory)

However, the org info file is copied into the directory. So it appears to be a
problem with install-info. I have now run out of ideas.

Thanks, tried that but got same error. In any case the directory is owned by me, so it shouldn't be a permission problem.
