Hi Sean
Initially a first-order guess would be that the version and distribution of linux that you're using has a version of wireshark that's significantly different than 1.8.5. If you simply apt-get install wireshark, what version does it install?
An alternative way to build from source that often works better in a distro is, assuming an apt- and debian-based distro, apt-get update apt-get source wireshark-x.x.x apt-get build-dep wireshark-x.x.x cd wireshark-x.x.x fakeroot debian/rules build
