Hi- Dave Thompson has what he says is a good solaris dx 4.0.7 build at www.opendx.org . See his README http://opendx.npaci.edu/bin/README.solaris86 . Once you've extracted the archive, moved the /whatever/dx/dx/ to /usr/local/dx and placed the dx/bin/dx script somewhere in your path (say /usr/bin) it should respond to "dx" , and also when dxui tries to start dxexec it will find "dx". You can test the exec's ability to run separately by invoking dx -execonly or dx -script .
The tutorials are likely absent from the binaries, if so download and install dxsamples after you install the binaries. They install via configure/make/make install. The tutorials may require you to to set DXDATA and DXMACROS to /usr/local/dx/samples/data and /usr/local/dx/samples/macros respectively. Hope this helps.
