This was the last message the configure script gave you.  Please look at
the other messages.  In particular, there must have been one section where
it says 'checking for CLN'.  It may look like this:

checking for cln-config... /usr/local/bin/cln-config
checking for CLN - version >= 1.1.0... no
*** Could not run CLN test program, checking why...
*** The test program compiled, but did not run. This usually means

I am sure you just missed that.  (After that you may want to study
config.log to see what's going on.)
