I don't know the answer to your problem but some of the following might help:

  1. Why is there no (require 'org-install) in excerpt from .emacs?
  2. Where is 6.06 getting loaded from (check using locate-library
org-install <RET>)?
  3. Try (add-to-list 'load-path "~/org-6.29c/lisp") instead of the
version with cons.
  4. Check set up section (2.1) from http://doc.norang.ca/org-mode.html
