Yes, Nixpkgs[0] has this:

  installTargets = "install install-lib install-dev";

Meaning that “make install” alone isn’t enough.  So I’d recommend doing
the same, basically.  :-)

When in doubt, checking how others do it is often helpful (not always,
because sometimes they were just as clueless ;-)).

HTH,
Ludo’.

PS: IRC may be more appropriate for this kind of debugging.  I’m often
    on #guix and #guile on Freenode, if that’s an option for you.
