wireshark: error while loading shared libraries: libwiretap.so.0: cannot open

The necessary file is in /usr/local/lib, which is included in /etc/ld.so.conf.
If I do this, it works:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib
wireshark
Although (another problem) I have to be root to access eth0.
So two questions:
1) what do I have to do to let wireshark find the library?
I'm not sure, but... Did you run ldconfig? That updates the
configuration based on what's in /etc/ld.so.conf .
2) what do I have to do to make eth0 available to an ordinary user?
Make sure /usr/local/bin/dumpcap is owned by root and then:
chmod u+s /usr/local/bin/dumpcap
