Dear dev,

My name is Francisco Sanchez. I'm a PhD who's trying to install Wireshark latest version in order to obtain the new 
releases. For that purposes, following your instructions at:

http://www.wireshark.org/docs/wsdg_html/#ChIntroHelp

SVN has provided me:

svn co http://anonsvn.wireshark.org/wireshark/trunk/ wireshark

The device where i'd like to install it is a RPi, which its main characteristics are:

pi@raspberrypi ~/wireshark $ cat /etc/*-release
PRETTY_NAME="Raspbian GNU/Linux 7 (wheezy)"
NAME="Raspbian GNU/Linux"
VERSION_ID="7"
VERSION="7 (wheezy)"
ID=raspbian
ID_LIKE=debian
ANSI_COLOR="1;31"
HOME_URL="http://www.raspbian.org/";
SUPPORT_URL="http://www.raspbian.org/RaspbianForums";
BUG_REPORT_URL="http://www.raspbian.org/RaspbianBugs";

Unfortunately, everything was working fine, but i've found an error after executing sudo make. Attached you can find 
atttached the installation's config.log. 

In order to make clearer this problem, here it's a small resume (steps done):
1. Download from subversion the latest version:
   svn co http://anonsvn.wireshark.org/wireshark/trunk/ wireshark

2. sudo apt-get install libtool          OK
2.1 sudo apt-get install bison           OK 
2.2 sudo apt-get install flex            OK

3. sudo ./autogen.sh                     OK  
3.1 sudo apt-get install libgtk-3-dev    OK

4. sudo ./configure                      OK
