Solaris tar is different from Linux tar. That could be a problem.
You definitely cannot run this software on Intel Solaris - you could try to use the Solaris tools to run Linux software but I doubt you can get it to work. You need a specific version for Intel Solaris - ask Oracle for it. Not all versions are downloadable for all platforms.
