It's a shocking amount of handholding you need for an issue like this. :-(

First of all, it seems you've made a typo: luskipc vs. luksipc

Secondly, it may be that the built file is not located within the topdir
but some subdir.

Obviously, you can do _anything_ you like in the %install section, such
as entering the directory where the built file is found or adding the file's
path to the install command. The %install section is just a shell script.
Do what's necessary. Get familiar with the extracted source tarball's
directory structure. Understand which files are built and need to be
installed, especially if a Make install target is not available.
