Installing latest wireshark impossible?

It looks like installing a later version of wireshark is near impossible on redhat 6. I've searched the web extensively and can't find any questions where someone has said their issue was resolved. Don't care how I do it. Here's what I have tried:

yum install wireshark   <-- works but version too old
yum localinstall xxx    <-- works only with an rc2 of v10 and gives error
./configure             <-- "Need a working C++ compiler to build Wireshark with Qt"

The first method is out as the version is too old and it does not have a ipv6 option we need.

The second method appears to install and actually work but gives me an error about a missing library when I run it. I'm also concerned about installing a release candidate. If I try the non release candidate rpm then it gives me an error about missing libraries when trying to install.

The final method gives me an error about qt but qt 4.6 is installed.

Has anyone actually got this to work? Need v1.10 at least.
