Hi Johan, osrng.cpp has the OS specific code. Do you have a /dev/urandom? AutoSeededRandomPool uses them.

>From osrng.cpp:
NonblockingRng::NonblockingRng()
{
#ifndef CRYPTOPP_WIN32_AVAILABLE
m_fd = open("/dev/urandom",O_RDONLY);
if (m_fd == -1)
throw OS_RNG_Err("open /dev/urandom");
#endif
}
BlockingRng::BlockingRng()
{
m_fd = open("/dev/random",O_RDONLY);
if (m_fd == -1)
throw OS_RNG_Err("open /dev/random");
}
