Problem in installing PF_Ring. Make Install giving error.

As a part of SNORT, I am trying to install PF_Ring on my Ubuntu LTS 20.04, I am following this guide https://www.ntop.org/guides/pf_ring/...ml#compilation

Every thing went fine except when I issue $make install, I am getting this error.

Libraries have been installed in:

If you ever happen to want to link against installed libraries
in a given directory, LIBDIR, you must either use libtool, and
specify the full pathname of the library, or use the '-LLIBDIR'
flag during linking and do at least one of the following:
- add LIBDIR to the 'LD_LIBRARY_PATH' environment variable
during execution
- add LIBDIR to the 'LD_RUN_PATH' environment variable
during linking
- use the '-Wl,-rpath -Wl,LIBDIR' linker flag
- have your system administrator add LIBDIR to '/etc/ld.so.conf'

See any operating system documentation about shared libraries for
more information, such as the ld(1) and ld.so(8) manual pages.

make[1]: Nothing to be done for 'install-data-am'.
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/denes/Desktop/PF_RING/userland/snort/pfring-daq-module'

I tried many fixes like the one mentioned here https://ehetherington.github.io/libt...ll-as-lib.html but wasnt able to fix it.
Can someone guide me about how to fix that

What error? It says your library is installed and tells you how to link to it.

Thanks for the reply.

When i issue $make install, all I get is following output. This is not what make install gives you.
