Howdy,

I have my stake pool set up good to go. I have 2 relays, and one BP…all on seperate EC2 instances. I don’t see any concerns when i’m looking at them in gLive…All have incoming/outgoing peers, Processed TX etc. They look good to go, no worries. Today, i got a message that said I had mail. This mail is ONLY on the 2 relay nodes. Below is the error in the mail. Is this something I should be concerned about? Thanks!!

Hello,

Check this link

> Hey People slightly_smiling_face I am just going through the Stake Pool School videos and since a few hours I am continuously running into the same error, ever since I closed the initial terminal I did all the exercises with. If I want to query the balance of my payment address for example, I will get this message: “cardano-node: error while loading shared libraries: libsodium.so.23: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory” Anybody an idea? Thank you so much! Best Regar…

Thank you. I checked into that first before I posted. I wanted to make sure I checked the forums to see if I could find something. I do have those entries, and the error is still there. Though I haven’t received any new mail with the error. Maybe it was just a hiccup
