After launching 

$./configure --prefix=/home/user/bin/wireshark-1.10.8 --enable-setcap-install
--with-ssl && make install

on Ubuntu 14.04 I get dumpcap without any capabilities : 

$ ls -l ~/bin/wireshark-1.10.8/bin
-rwxr-xr-x 1 user user 145K lip  2 03:08 capinfos
-rwxr-xr-x 1 user user  41K lip  2 03:08 dftest

-rwxr-xr-x 1 user user 1.3M lip  2 03:08 tshark
-rwxr-xr-x 1 user user 8.9M lip  2 03:08 wireshark
$ getcap dumpcap
$

when I set it manually it works fine

$sudo setcap 'CAP_NET_RAW+eip CAP_NET_ADMIN+eip' dumpcap

after that I can run wireshark which will the the interfaces.
