starting avd fails, saying it can't find emulator, but it exists
android, android-virtual-device, emulation, ubuntu
Solution
Seems like you are running 64 bit system. So you need to install ia32-libs.
To install ia32-libs, put following line in terminal:
sudo apt-get install ia32-libs
Problem
I've installed the SDK on Ubuntu 12.0.4. I started up the SDK manager and updated several packages. I ran the avd manager and tried to create an avd, but it just failed with no information. I then tried to create the avd from the command line, using the same information I tried to use from the gui, and it worked. When I tried to start that AVD, it failed with (some strings elided): ``` Failed to start emulator: Cannot run program "<myhome>/apps/android/android-sdk-linux/tools/emulator": java.io.IOException: error=2, No such file or directory ``` This is what I see when I look for this file: ``` $ ls -lt <myhome>/apps/android/android-sdk-linux/tools/emulator -rwxrwxr-x 1 <me> <me> 24828 May 25 08:20 <myhome>/apps/android/android-sdk-linux/tools/emulator* ``` As you can see, the path it's looking for DOES exist. What's going on here?
