I`m using pol-core-097-2007-01-04-RC2-Coregina with official 097 distro scripts (v.1004), clean install.

Compilation is done without any errors, but at startup, i get a following error in console:

Code:
Exception caught while loading script pkg/items/maps/:maps:map/method.ecl: Unable to open pkg/items/maps/:maps:map/method.ecl for reading.
Unable to read script 'pkg/items/maps/:maps:map/method.ecl'
Error reading script pkg/items/maps/:maps:map/method.ecl

appearing 36 times.
I guess it refers to /pkg/items/maps/config/itemdesc.cfg containing 36 map entries, each entry with:

Code:
   MethodScript   :maps:map/method


I checked the pathname and filename, but failed to find any misspelling. What is even stranger, method script is in the same directory as encodeMap script... some map entries do contain reference to it as well:

Code:
CreateScript   :maps:map/encodeMap


as you can see, while the path is the same, encodeMap seems to be loaded without any problems.

Are you sure it compiled and under the right version of ecompile and *.em files which came with the core?

Positive... i started a clean install: new folder, extracted pol97 rc2 there, downloaded Distro 097 scripts by Tortoise, runned uoconvert, then compiled everythin with supplied ecompile.exe ver 1.08 (used batch starthere.bat, d option with saving log file). Finally, i searched ecompile.log for error messages, but found none, only several warnings of unused variables.

This is indeed a real bug and I'm not sure what the problem is. Script compiles fine. Maybe it has something to do with a bug in the core.
