Compilation of aMule 2.2.0 pre 20080304 fails with the error: 
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.2/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: cannot find -lcryptopp

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge amule
2. ???
3. Don't profit.




I'm unsure what exact version provides the fix, but updating dev-libs/crypto++ from 5.2.1 to 5.5.2 fixed the problem.
