I also got this error message when trying to deploy a new contract with ethconsole on aleth. Running the node with -v 4 gave more insights:

2018-09-10 13:44:17  rpc {"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":34,"method":"eth_subscribe","params":["newHeads"]}
2018-09-10 13:44:17  rpc {"error":{"code":-32601,"message":"METHOD_NOT_FOUND: The method being requested is not available on this server"},"id":34,"jsonrpc":"2.0"}

It looks like eth_subscribe is not implemented yet

Bump ... I know this isn't really being developed anymore, but was this issue really never addressed? Is there a workaround?
