Neither of which involve changing the Qt version number, so is this Qt 5.5.0
that you're installing?

So when the Qt installer program ran, you replaced ~/Qt or ~/Qt5.5.0 with
/usr/local in the "where should I install this?" dialog box?

So it hangs, rather than crashing, and you get no crash report?
What gets reported if you start up Activity Monitor (in
/Applications/Utilities), select the Wireshark process, and click "Sample
Process"?

*That's* a different failure, if it's the one from installed-wireshark.log.
Try building with autotools. Qt 5.5 changed the install names for the Qt
frameworks in ways that caused a number of issues; I fixed the autotools stuff
to make it work, although those changes *might* need some more work to cope
with /usr/local installations (what's the exact path under /usr/local of the
clang_64 subdirectory of the Qt installation?), but CMake needs some separate
work for that (which involves finding out, in the CMake files, where Qt is
installed, and, in particular, finding the path of the .../clang_64/lib
directory so we can stuff it into a -Wl,-rpath,... argument).
