Possibly you are using the wrong binary for your OS. Could you please try with ./splunk start --debug ? If you should get the same error, please try with file ./splunkand this should clarify the exact nature of your splunk binary.

Please refer also to this answers post: http://answers.splunk.com/answers/101245/cannot-execute-binary-file-linux-virtual-machine.html
