Android Studio AVD error launching

Question

I have a Nexus 6P API23 emulator downloaded on my Ubuntu 15.10 PC. When I try to launch it, it fails and a dialog box pops up and says:

(AVD config: Nexus 6P API 23

Answer 1

Entering the following in the terminal (Ctrl-Alt-T) solved this for me:

cd $Android/Sdk/tools/lib64/libstdc++
mv libstdc++.so.6 libstdc++.so.6.bak
ln -s /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6

This apparently creates a symlink. This solution was taken from Line #23 of https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=197254#c23.

You may need to change the paths to the files depending on your installation (i.e. the original used the path ANDROID_HOME/android-sdk-linux_x86/ whereas my installation was just Android/Sdk/).
