That's not the issue.  libbotan1.7 contains the program botan-config,
which can be used as well, and if you look again, it was used and
correctly identified botan for you.

However, a few lines further down, there's this:

hendrik> conftest.cpp -lz  -L/usr/lib -lm -lbz2 -lcrypto -lgmp -lpthread -lrt 
-lz 
hendrik> -lbotan >&5
hendrik> /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lcrypto

That's where the problem is...

Quite honestly, though, I'm a bit surprised this should happen at
all.  libbotan1.7 depends on libssl0.9.8, which delivers libcrypto...
So the question is, what's up with that?

Cheers,
Richard
