cannot find -lrte_kni while building

When building MoonGen the compiler does not find -lrte_kni at usr/bin/ld. Probably as a result the interfaces cannot be bound. Is there a workaround for that issue?

I had the same issue under ubuntu 18.04. I solved it by using linux kernel version 4.15 instead of version 5.4
