So there are a few posts I have read with exact same problem as Android studio 1.0.2 not building app:mergeDebugResources error

but none of them seem to work for me and I was wondering if anyone else has issue with installing Android Development Studio for the first time on ubuntu 14.04 x64 bit OS and has found a solution.

I tried running 

sudo apt-get install lib32stdc++6
sudo apt-get install lib32z1

but I still get same error:

Error:Execution failed for task ':app:mergeDebugResources'. /home/user_name/AndroidStudioProjects/project_name/app/src/main/res/drawable-hdpi/ic_launcher.png: Error: Cannot run program "/home/user_name/Android/Sdk/build-tools/21.1.2/aapt": error=2, No such file or directory Error:Error: Cannot run program "/home/user_name/Android/Sdk/build-tools/21.1.2/aapt": error=2, No such file or directory /home/user_name/AndroidStudioProjects/project_name/app/src/main/res/drawable-hdpi/ic_launcher.png

I even tried the suggestions on Android Hello-World compile error: Intellij cannot find aapt but none resolved my issue :( any help greatly appreciated, would have thought android would have been more out of the box to setup on linux

Ok a work around was to lower the build tools version used. This can be done in the Android Studio under

File>Project Structure

Click on the "app" option on left hand menu and select the 20.0.0 build tools and no errors seen on building basic hello world project.
