Comment(by zooko):

 There are some notes about such things on
 http://allmydata.org/trac/tahoe/wiki/InstallDetails . Those notes aren't
 on http://allmydata.org/source/tahoe/trunk/docs/install.html because those
 steps aren't supposed to be necessary.  The fact that they are necessary
 (on some platforms) is a bug, and is the subject of this ticket.
 Improving the documentation for those platforms where binaries of
 pycryptopp and the other dependencies are not available would be the
 subject of... let's see... #282 (more detailed and targeted docs about
 installing from source).  Hm, see also #701 (The instructions in
 "Installing Tahoe" do not mention C compiler requirement.) which is pretty
 much the same issue as you are having but opened by my brother Nathan.
