Hi,

These messages indicate that the build procedure did not create the 
output directory, i.e. nothing was installed.  So you should have a 
look at the build procedure, and make sure there is an install phase 
that creates and populates the output directory (available as 
(assoc-ref %outputs "out")) with the items that were built.
