The real libcryptopp.5.dylib file needs to have its install_name fixed 
(this is a bug in upstream's makefile). You can either edit the Makefile 
to do it properly, or run install_name_tool at the end of InstallScript: 
to give it the proper install_name. The command for the latter option 
would be something like:

install_name_tool -id %p/lib/libcryptopp.5.dylib %i/lib/libcryptopp.5.dylib

This fixes the file in "%i/lib/libcryptopp.5.dylib" to have an 
install_name of "%p/lib/libcryptopp.5.dylib".

What files are in the base libcryptopp5 package? If there are any 
executables, you need to make sure they show linkage (via otool -L) to 
the file in %p and not the file in %i. If there are files there that 
link to the library, it might be easier to fix the build process than to 
fix the results after the build.
