This has been an ongoing issue for a while, see:

https://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1677

The basic story has been: we didn't want libwireshark to depend on 
libwiretap.  We fixed it + broke it a few times (the bug was reopened 
several times) but the latest breakage doesn't seem so easy to fix.

Maybe it's now acceptable to have libwireshark depend on libwiretap--in 
that case the bug can be closed too.
