Use a minimal .emacs, something like this (adjust path to suit your
situation):

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(add-to-list 'load-path "~/src/emacs/org/org-mode/lisp")

(require 'org-loaddefs)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Then  start emacs with

   emacs -q -l /path/to/minimal/.emacs

Visit an org file and try latex exporting. If that works, then
your init file is screwed up. If it doesn't, then your org-mode
installation is screwed up.
