Aha! thanks greatly for that link! it held the key to getting it to work with the default packages!
I was already using libcrypto++-dev as you suggested BUT looking through that Linux_Distributions link I found out that when trying to compile my code I was putting the -lcryptopp flag in the incorrect location, moving it to the END of the command worked great! I will still more than likely move to pulling the source and compiling myself versus relying on a distros compilation of crypto++ but right now I can at least work on learning the intricacies of crypto++ now I have something working!
