Are you building as root? It's probably best to do the build as yourself, rather than as root; do only the "make install" as root.

As the Wireshark build documentation says, on Linux or other OSes using GNU tar, tar can decompress the bzip2 file itself, so you could just have done "tar xf wireshark-1.99.7.tar.bz2" without doing "bzip2 -d wireshark-1.99.7.tar.bz2"
(On other UN*Xes, "bzip2 -d wireshark-1.99.7.tar.bz2" would have created wireshark-1.99.7.tar and deleted wireshark-1.99.7.tar.bz2, so, as the Wireshark build documentation says, you would do "tar xf wireshark-1.99.7.tar" after that.)

So it looks as if you've unpacked the tarball anyway.

"config.nmake" is for Windows, not UN*X. You don't need to do anything with it.

You haven't built Wireshark yet, so there's nothing to run.

As Pascal Quantin said, you need to run the configure script first, with the command "./configure".
