Problem with Android SDK on Linux with Eclipse Helios

Question

I just installed the Android SDK on my machine. I am running Fedora 13 (64 bit) and the Android kit is r06 for Linux. I am running Eclipse Helios. I get this error when I try to link to the sdk inside Eclipse:

[2010-07-21 07:10:23 - adb]Failed to get the adb version: Cannot run program "/home/jmneedham/android-sdk-linux/tools/adb": java.io.IOException: error=2, No such file or directory

I have checked directory permissions and those seem to be fine, but I am not sure if the SDK is just not compatible with 64 bit Linux or what to do to fix this.

Help is appreciated.

Answer 1

I found on another forum that this might be caused by some library not present in your jdk. Their issue was solved by downloading :

lib32-libstdc++5 lib32-libx11 lib32-ncurses lib32-zlib lib32-sdl lib32-libxext

If you want more details or if these libraries does not help, check the whole topic here

Answer 2

It is an issue with the SDK being 32 bit and my system being 64 bit. I am going to wait for the folks at Android to develop a 64 bit version before I decide to do anything with the kit.

Thanks for any help on this. Hope that the people that develop the SDK note that a lot of us may hold out for a 64 bit version. I of course, don't need it for professional reasons at this time, but I was interested. Just not interested in 32 bit computing any longer :-).
