adb command not found in linux environment

Question

While implementing the BluetoothChat application .apk inside G1 device, it always pops up a message:

$adb install -r /home/parveen/workspace/BluetoothChat/bi         


        

Answer 1

I have just resolved the problem myself on mint(ubuntu). It seems that adb is a 32 bit executable at least according to readelf -h. for the program to work in 64-bit ubuntu or whatever installation, we must have 32-bit libraries inplace.

solved the problem with

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libc6:i386 libncurses5:i386 libstdc++6:i386
