Hmm, what did you do before that?  I don't have that problem in a 
freshly untar'd source tree.  As I said earlier in the thread I can do 
this without a problem:

% cd /tmp && tar xjf /path/to/wireshark-1.12.0.tar.bz2 && cd 
wireshark-1.12.0 && ./configure --with-gtk2 && make rpm-package

Just doing "make" instead of "make rpm-package" works too.  I also tried 
"make clean" followed by "make" and that also worked.
