Aircrack-ng SVN error 1

Question

i've already downloaded aircrack-ng from the SVN repo and i'm trying to build it from source and this is what i get:

make -C src all
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/chris/aircrack-ng/src'
gcc -g -W -Wall -O3 -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_REVISION=2363  -DCONFIG_LIBNL30 -I/usr/include/libnl3   -Wno-unused-but-set-variable -Wno-array-bounds -Iinclude  wpaclean.o osdep/radiotap/radiotap-parser.o -o wpaclean -Losdep -losdep -lnl-genl-3 -lnl-3  
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lnl-genl-3
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [wpaclean] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/chris/aircrack-ng/src'
make: *** [all] Error 2

i'm compiled it before but i did an upgraded clean install of linux mint 16 but now for some reason i'm missing something. any help would be great! thanks in advance!

You're missing the development libraries for libnl-genl-3. Issue this command:

sudo apt-get install libnl-genl-3-dev

That should fix it.
