I am using ethereum-ruby to deploy smart contracts. I am using JSON RPC calls to my geth and its working pretty well. But when i use compile_solidity I get:
"error"=>{"code"=>-32603, "message"=>"eth_compileSolidity method not available: solc (solidity compiler) not found"}}
and if I do get_compilers it returns "".
I installed solc it with npm. What am I missing?
I solved this by installing solc with apt-get like
sudo apt-get install solc
Then I typed which solc and it told me it was installed at /usr/bin/solc. So I fired up geth console and used the command
admin.setSolc('/usr/bin/solc')
to point to the path. Then it worked.
