Ok, let me guess further, on the first system you did also install the
default wireshark coming with the Linux distribution, and on the
second system you did not?

In any case, underneath the directory you ran make from is a lib
directory, containing the finished build for your plugin, as well as
all other libraries. Without "make install" he won't find the plugin
you wrote.

It is recommended btw, to not use plugins, although development may
seem more convenient at first glance.

regards,
Roland
