I agree that you need a newer version of gnucash, but with respect
to your particular error, a little bird whispered in my ear that
Solaris did not recognize your binary as a valid binary, and attempted
to execute it as a shell script instead.  i.e. the binary you're
using is not compatible with your OS and/or processor; you'll need a
different binary.
