The following works fine on PowerShell installations of MacOS, Ubuntu Linux and Windows, but not on Photon:

$Source = @"
public class BasicTest
{
   public static int Add(int a, int b)
     {
         return (a + b);
     }
   public int Multiply(int a, int b)
     {
     return (a * b);
     }
 }
"@
Add-Type -TypeDefinition $Source

The error received:

Add-Type : Could not find a part of the path '/usr/lib/powershell/ref'.

As a workaround, can you try mkdir -p /usr/lib/powershell/ref/ && ln -s /usr/lib/powershell/*.dll /usr/lib/powershell/ref/
