Do you have libsecret-1 installed? See the installation instructions.

'sudo apt-get install libsecret-1-dev'
fixed this error message for me

[luixxiul]

Oh, I didn't notice that. Sorry!

On Fedora 27, with these installed, the error still shows up:

libsecret-0.18.5-5.fc27.x86_64
libsecret-devel-0.18.5-5.fc27.x86_64

The error shows as:

prebuild-install info unpack required /home/dan/src/atom/script/node_modules/leveldown/build/Release/leveldown.node successfully
prebuild-install info install Successfully installed prebuilt binary!
Installing apm
Package libsecret-1 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libsecret-1.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
Package 'libsecret-1', required by 'virtual:world', not found

pkg-config is at "/usr/bin/pkg-config". Running "pkg-config --path libsecret-1" I get:
/usr/lib64/pkgconfig/libsecret-1.pc

Is there somewhere this must be custom configured outside of the standard system search paths?
