I have installed bitcoin core running on my local machine. I want to create a new address using bitcoin-cli, executing a command as follows then an error message was displayed. How can I solve it?
```
$ bitcoin-cli getnewaddress
error code: -32601
error message:
Method not found
```
The version of bitcoin-core is as follows.
```
$ bitcoin-cli -version
Bitcoin Core RPC client version v0.18.0.0-742f7dd97
```
The machine running bitcoin core is virtual machine on VirtualBox on Windows7. The guest OS is ubuntu server and version is as follows.
```
$ uname -a
Linux ubuntu 4.15.0-45-generic [#48](/bitcoin-bitcoin/48/)-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jan 29 16:28:13 UTC 2019 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
```

How did you compile Core? My guess is that Berkeley DB wasn't available at compile time, or that you've inadvertently configured/run with --disable-wallet.

What is the output of $ bitcoin-cli listwallets?

Thank you for your comment. I will try recompile the source codes. It seems that Berkeley DB wasn't available.
