I manage to get exactly the same issue. The compilation fails because
HAVE_PFRING_CLUSTER_TYPE is not set as it should be (pfring_set_cluster
test fails due to some problem). You can check this in config.log, it
should be indicated some lines below:
    checking for pfring_set_cluster in -lpfring
In my case, this was due to the fact I did not install correctly
linux/pf_ring.h. After doing from pf_ring root directory:
  sudo cp kernel/linux/pf_ring.h /usr/local/include/linux/
I then rerun configure and compilation went fine.

BR,
