I have downloaded the tar.gz package from the site and then I have extracted using tar -zxvf command as mentioned over there. After that I used sudo apt-get install build-essential then I further installed libssl-dev. Then I changed directory to the aircrack folder. But when I type either sudo make or just make I am getting this same error. I don't know what to do. I have installed the file what they have asked in the error as well. Still the same error is shown. Okay I am not permitted to upload images.

The error is : 

common.mak:85: *** Cannot find development files for any supported version of libnl. install either libnl1 or libnl3..  Stop.

If you want to install it from source (though Naveens's answer would be easier) you must install libnl-dev.

To install from source you need to install the -dev packages for every library that the program you are compiling uses. Whenever a program you are compiling asks for a library look it up in synaptic (if you don't have it run apt-get install synaptic as root) then select the library's -dev package, which contains the headers that the program needs to compile to the library.
