Have a standard install of wireshark on backtrack 4 which runs fine.

However, when attempting to run tshark I get the following message:

tshark: error while loading shared libraries: libwsutil.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

an ldd of tshark shows libwsutil.so.0 => not found

How does one go about getting this installed?

Both Wireshark and tshark normally use libwsutil (for a while now). Did you compile these yourself? Are you sure the Wireshark and the tshark are the same version?
