Description

On a new install of Fedora 40 executing ss-server returns this error:
ss-server: error while loading shared libraries: libsodium.so.23: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

It is clearly installed here:
/usr/lib64/libsodium.so.23

But I have no idea how to tell ss-server it's location and I've scoured the internet for hours trying to find a fix that works for Fedora.

I'm in China, so I would really appreciate some help with this. I've successfully installed shadowsocks-electron through snap as a temporary fix, but the connection is intermittent. It craps out frequently and I'd like to get rid of it.

Thanks!

Research direction

Start by reproducing the Fedora 40 installation and running ss-server with /usr/lib64/libsodium.so.23 present. Check whether the failure comes from the installation or runtime library search path; done means ss-server starts without the missing-library error and the Fedora-specific resolution is documented.
