When you say "install the latest Wireshark", do you mean Wireshark 1.4.3, downloaded as a source tarball and 
unmodified, or do you mean you're trying to modify and build Wireshark, whether it's 1.4.3 or 1.5.0 or the top of the 
Subversion trunk?

Just downloading a source tarball and running "./configure; make; make install" (or perhaps "sudo make install" or 
something such as that) should, I think, work with *any* version of Make - as I remember, the Makefile generated by 
automake and the configure script does all the include processing when the release tarball is made, so that it doesn't 
depend on the way Make does includes, and avoids using other Make-dependent features.  If you're doing *development*, 
however, you need GNU Make.
