Ok - part of the problem here is that you don't tell us what went wrong!
And I don't know anything about Ubuntu, though I used Debian thirteen
years ago......
You have downloaded the tarball - good.
You have unzipped it somewhere sensible - maybe in an .emacs.d directory
Then you went
cd org-8.0 (or whatever it is called)
and did make - did that go wrong?
If it did there is a chance you don't have to tools on board to build
it. This command should get them for you:
apt-get build-dep <package_name>
where <package name> is the name of your emacs package.
Try make again
If it runs this time then fire up emacs and add these line to your .emacs
file - you will of course need to edit the path.
(setq load-path (cons "~/path/to/orgdir/lisp" load-path))
(setq load-path (cons "~/path/to/orgdir/contrib/lisp" load-path))
Restart your emacs and you should be good to go.
Good luck!
