The Makefile makes a bunch of assumptions about where to install the
plugin.  If you run it as root, it tries to install it in the "system
wide" locations, which can be particularly sloppy.  If you run `make
install` as non-root, it will install in $HOME/.wireshark/plugins,
which requires much less guess work and is more likely to work.  Try
the later and see if you can get it to work.  If not, try to install
the plugin by hand into the right place, which on my system is
/usr/lib/wireshark/libwireshark1/plugins.

Hope this helps,
