The Makefile.in for methods uses the macro INSTALL_DATA. On linux this is /usr/bin/install, but my guess from your error message is that it's $(top_buildir)/tools/install-sh For reasons that pre-date my involvement, $(top_buildir) is a relative not an absolute path. Hence my guess is that for solaris you need to add a line "cd $(srcdir); \ " after line 76 in Makefile.in. If this works, let me know & I'll make the change generally.
