Into wireshark,
 Help / About wireshark / Folders,
 you can see something like:
- Personal Plugins    /home/<user>/.wireshark/plugins
- Global Plugings   /usr/lib/wireshark/plugins (or another one)
These are the directories where you can put :
- your <dissector>.so
- your <dissector>.la

If your dissector is compiled on 32 bits Linux distribution, then you 
can NOT use it on 64 bits.
If your dissector is compiled on 64 bits Linux distribution, then you 
can NOT use it on 32 bits.

User Wireshark version should be more or less the same that compiling 
Wireshark version.
Version 1.2.X should work on 1.2.X.
Version 1.2.X should NOT work on 1.0.X.
