If there's an easy fix to make this work, let's do that. Otherwise, let's disable the deploy contract feature.

@evq How is this supposed to work; are we missing a solidity component here?

[evq]

Looks like it isn't supposed to work - ethereum/go-ethereum#3793

[Slava]

That's what I found too. But I am confused how does Mist make it work?

[evq]

I think they have their own implementation - https://github.com/ethereum/mist/blob/175fd643b5fee04820bcaf09a98241c19ded2f79/modules/ipc/methods/eth_compileSolidity.js

[Slava]

@tomlowenthal do you want me to look into shipping whatever extra code we need for this? Alternatively we remove the feature

[tildelowengrimm]

Nah, this is a niche and confusing feature within a niche and confusing feature. Just disable it IMO.
