I'm getting the following error when trying to upgrade amule.

checking for crypto++ version >= 5.1... no configure: error:
WARNING: crypto++ >= 5.1 is not found. Please check that
cryptopp-headers are in your default include path, check out
LD_LIBRARY_PATH or equivalent variable. Or this might also be
that your cryptopp is instaled on other path. Please try again
with --with-crypto-prefix=/my_crypto_prefix (replace
/my_crypto_prefix with a valid path to your crypto directory)
. The crypto include folder must be named cryptopp. Sorry
about the mess but it's the only way because libcrypto has no ma
ke install. To download the lastest version check
http://www.cryptopp.com for sour ces.

Am I correct in assuming that I need to emerge the /devlibs/crypto++
package first or do I need to do something else? Shouldn't it install
automatically as a dependency?

Looks like it's been fixed in Portage today. See:

Damn that's quick! I'd like to see Micro$oft move that fast!
