I'm on Ubuntu and just installed the Android SDK ("SDK Only") for 64-bit linux. I then installed the ADT plugin for Eclipse. When I restarted Eclipse it asked me to open the SDK Manager and install some OS SDKs, so I installed some Developer tools and the most recent (I believe it was 4.2.2) Android distro. I then restarted Eclipse and got no errors or console warnings.

I then tried to open several Android views (Heap, LogCat, etc.) and got the following error:

What is this and why am I seeing it? What can I do to correct it? Thanks in advance!

Update: running an ls -l on the directory in question produces:

myUser@myMachine:~$ ls -l ~/sandbox/dsi/workbench/android-sdk/21.1/android-sdk-linux/platform-tools/

    Someone deleted or modified ADB or Android SDK. Make sure the ADB path it shows in the error is correct. And IMHO you should not put the Android SDK inside your Eclipse workspace. – m0skit0 Apr 11 '13 at 15:18

    Thanks @m0skit0 (+1): (1) The path `/home/myUser/sandbox/dsi/workbench/android-sdk/21.1/android-sdk-linux/platform-tools/adb` is valid, and ADB is located there, so it hasn't been removed. And (2) just curious, why do you think the Android ASK is in my Eclipse workspace? the `workbench/` directory has 2 child folders: `android-sdk`, and `eclipse`. My Eclipse workspace is in `workbench/eclipse/workspace`. Just want to make sure you don't see something else that I'm missing. Thanks again! – IAmYourFaja Apr 11 '13 at 15:31
  • Could this be a linux/permissions issue? – IAmYourFaja Apr 11 '13 at 15:32
  • Sorry, I read *workspace* instead of *workbench*. And I highly doubt this is a permission problem or a Linux issue. I develop Android mostly on Linux and never had this problem. Can you please run `ls -l ~/sandbox/dsi/workbench/android-sdk/21.1/android-sdk-linux/platform-tools` in a terminal and show the output? – m0skit0 Apr 11 '13 at 16:21
  • Thanks again @m0skit0 - please see my update and let me know what you think. – IAmYourFaja Apr 11 '13 at 16:40
  • Please put the exact command you used and the current logged user as well. I think you're not referencing the correct `/home` directory. – m0skit0 Apr 11 '13 at 17:54
  • "ls -l" was the command and I just string-replace my actual user name with "myUser" (for privacy reasons) inside gedit. – IAmYourFaja Apr 11 '13 at 18:00
  • Sorry but I said `ls -l ~/sandbox/dsi/workbench/android-sdk/21.1/android-sdk-linux/platform-tools`, not `ls -l`. – m0skit0 Apr 11 '13 at 18:11
  • No problem @m0skit0 - please see my updated terminal output. – IAmYourFaja Apr 11 '13 at 22:29

If you're on ubuntu 13.10 (and possibly other versions >= 12.10), you may need to install

apt-get install lib32ncurses5 lib32stdc++6 zlib1g:i386 libc6-i386

in stead. ia32-libs is no longer available on 13.10

What is your Ubuntu Version ? Before ubuntu 12.04, you must install ia32-libs 

sudo apt-get install ia32-libs
