For some reason, it seems to expect the driver files igc and lib_rte_igc in a certain way. I have reinstalled the igc drivers using rmmod igc && modprobe igc, I am using linux kernel 5.4.0-176-generic, and Ubuntu 20.04, are either of these too old? Any other reasons or roues to look for?

You should not be required to build Pktgen using sudo a simple make build or make rebuild should work.

DPDK needs to be built and installed in the system using the standard DPDK commands i.e, meson setup builddir ninja -C builddir sudo ninja -C builddir install

After DPDK is installed I would use make rebuild in the Pktgen directory. If you had previously built Pktgen using sudo you may be required to remove the build directory as it is owned by root and a normal user will not have permissions.
