I haven't really put in any effort since I last responded except:).   
I have gotten the top of the git-tree libpcap and confirmed it's  
installation with
ldconfig -p | grep pcap
which returns a nice:
    libpcap.so.1 (libc6) => /usr/local/lib/libpcap.so.1
    libpcap.so.0.8 (libc6) => /usr/lib/libpcap.so.0.8
    libpcap.so (libc6) => /usr/local/lib/libpcap.so

But when I install wireshark, it still uses to the .0.9.8 (through a  
symbolic link in the 0.8 reference shown above).  This I gather from  
the About Wireshark screen in wireshark which lists the libraries  
used.

Can I force Wireshark to use the newer version?

Try running configure with the argument --with-pcap=/usr/local
