It should also be traceroute. It just may not be in your path. Try:
whereis traceroute

It'll probably tell you it's in /usr/sbin/traceroute.

That depends on the version of Solaris that you're running. If you're pre-solaris 7, then you will need to install traceroute. You can find packages at http://www.sunfreeware.com/

It will probably install as /usr/local/bin/traceroute

Otherwise, the traceroute binary is found in /usr/sbin/traceroute

hope this helps,

Try this:
$/usr/sbin/traceroute
Add the following to your <.profile> using vi
"PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/etc:/usr/sbin:/usr/ucb:/export/home/"
$export PATH
$echo $PATH
/usr/bin:/usr/etc:/usr/sbin:/usr/ucb:/export/home/
the export/home/ will be if you have any shell scripts or executables in your home directory
Good Luck...
