running wireshark-gtk on Mageia

I'm trying to use wireshark-gtk on my Mageia box, but I'm getting the
following message:  
"No interface can be used for capturing in this sytem with the current
configuration. 
(couldn't run /usr/bin/dumpcap in child process Permission denied)"

Needless to say, I don't want to run wireshark as root.

Based on the Wireshark help, I tried:

[solomon at shlomo1 ~]$ sudo setcap 'CAP_NET_RAW+eip
CAP_NET_ADMIN+eip' /usr/bin/dumpcap 

and got: 
sudo: setcap: command not found


What am I missing?
