I emerged the Gentoo package sys-libs/libcap-2.11 and run
$> ./configure CC="ccache gcc"
again, during that step I read this :

...
checking for mprotect... yes
checking for sysconf... yes
./configure: line 32931: : command not found
configure: creating ./config.status
config.status: creating Makefile
config.status: creating doxygen.cfg
...

but it finished with :

...
The Wireshark package has been configured with the following options.
                    Build wireshark : yes
                       Build tshark : yes
                     Build capinfos : yes
                      Build editcap : yes
                      Build dumpcap : yes
                     Build mergecap : yes
                    Build text2pcap : yes
                      Build idl2wrs : yes
                      Build randpkt : yes
                       Build dftest : yes
                     Build rawshark : yes

             Install dumpcap setuid : no
                        Use plugins : yes
                   Build lua plugin : no
                   Build rtp_player : no
                        Use threads : no
             Build profile binaries : no
                   Use pcap library : yes
                   Use zlib library : yes
                   Use pcre library : yes
               Use kerberos library : no
                 Use c-ares library : no
               Use GNU ADNS library : no
                Use SMI MIB library : no
             Use GNU crypto library : yes
             Use SSL crypto library : no
           Use IPv6 name resolution : yes
                 Use gnutls library : yes
     Use POSIX capabilities library : yes
                  Use GeoIP library : no
...

but hte issue still remains.

BTW "Capture"->"Interfaces" gives :

tfoerste@n22 ~ $ ps -efla | grep dumpcap | fgrep -v grep
4 S root     16978 16439  0  80   0 -  3204 -      18:19 pts/3    00:00:00
/home/tfoerste/devel/wireshark/.libs/lt-dumpcap -S -M

After that I did an "Capture"->"Start", which yields into this state :

tfoerste@n22 ~ $ ps -efla | grep dumpcap | fgrep -v grep
4 S root     16978 16439  0  80   0 -  3204 -      18:19 pts/3    00:00:00
/home/tfoerste/devel/wireshark/.libs/lt-dumpcap -S -M
4 S root     17078 16439  0  80   0 -  3205 -      18:19 pts/3    00:00:00
/home/tfoerste/devel/wireshark/.libs/lt-dumpcap -i eth0 -p -Z none

closing now the interface windows did not work, but doing this :

tfoerste@n22 ~ $ su
Password:
n22 /home/tfoerste # kill 17078

brought back the application with a window saying : "Child capture process
died: Broken pipe".
