Yes, right at your fingertips - "ipkg --help"

As you don't even tell exact commands that you use, it's easy to assume
you make mistakes in them.

Not sure about this either. If it puts files in them, and executable
file is just a type of file, then executable must be there too, right?
Again, not enough context, not enough detail. Just installing something
to /usr/local may not necessary work if app references data files using
hard-coded paths. That's exactly which gap ipkg-link tries to fill. At
the very least, you should have PATH set properly, in your case it
would be something like /usr/local/usr/bin/ (and using /usr/local for
package install root is weird choice on its own).
