I was going by the contents of README.txt in the unpacked source
bundle... it doesn't mention build via "ant" at all. Again, I'm a
newb at java-based apps (but I won't be for long).
I did the build with "ant" (using some tips from
http://tinyurl.com/y9h9ho4 ) and things are running well now:

Note to any of you that may be try Cassandra on Solaris for the first
time: "ant" is likely already installed, but by default isn't in your
path. Add "/usr/sfw/bin" to your PATH environmental to find "ant".
Thanks Jonathan!
