    Configuration failed because libsodium was not found. Try installing:

  • rpm: libsodium-devel (Fedora, EPEL)
  • csw: libsodium_dev (Solaris)
  • brew: libsodium (OSX)
    If libsodium is already installed, check that 'pkg-config' is in your
    PATH and PKG_CONFIG_PATH contains a libsodium.pc file. If pkg-config
    is unavailable you can set INCLUDE_DIR and LIB_DIR manually via:
    R CMD INSTALL --configure-vars='INCLUDE_DIR=... LIB_DIR=...'
