Try to launch from the command line, in the build directory, using:

	./wireshark

Maybe he needs to run it this way instead?:
WIRESHARK_RUN_FROM_BUILD_DIRECTORY=1 ./wireshark

Reference: http://www.wireshark.org/docs/wsdg_html_chunked/ChSrcRunFirstTime.html

Also note that if you're running Wireshark as root, it won't load plugins from the build directory. You have to either run Wireshark as a non-root user or install it before running it.
