Hi @GD73FIVR

pls tell me what to do

There has been a lot of work going into the docs and scripts lately. You need to update the driver directory on your system and try again. Open a terminal and go to the driver directory:

git pull
sudo sh install-driver.sh

If you still see the error, run the following and post the results of make and the screen output of install-driver.sh:

make clean
clear
make

I'm also going to post some advice:

If you recently bought this adapter and can still return it for a refund? Do it. This driver is old and not well supported by Realtek. It is missing many features, such as WPA3, and may never gain these features. There are many good chipsets and adapters available that work well on Linux and will for many years. Let me point you to some reading:
