  But first some sanity checks:

1. Did you select the new packages in your configuration?

2. Did buildroot create a build directory for your packages in
output/build/<pkgname>-<version>?  If not, the package is somehow not
selected.

3. Does the build directory contain stamp files, esp. the one called
.stamp_target_intalled?  If not, it was never installed.

4. Does the build directory contain the compiled binaries?  If not, your
build commands are wrong so there are no binaries to install.

5. If you do a 'make <pkg>-dirclean; make <pkg>', what happens?  Do you see
some commands installing the binaries to the target?
