How to resolve Error executing aapt in Android/Eclipse? [duplicate]

Answer 1

It is not clear from your description whether it is an Eclipse or Android SDK problem. Try running aapt directly from the console (gives usage help) and check out the required libraries with ldd aapt. Ldd output looks something like following:

.../android-sdk-linux_x86/platform-tools$ ldd aapt
   linux-gate.so.1 =>  (0xf7712000)
   librt.so.1 => /lib32/librt.so.1 (0xf76b8000)
   libpthread.so.0 => /lib32/libpthread.so.0 (0xf769e000)
   libz.so.1 => /lib32/libz.so.1 (0xf7689000)
   libstdc++.so.6 => /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.5.3/32/libstdc++.so.6 (0xf759a000)
   libm.so.6 => /lib32/libm.so.6 (0xf7574000)
   libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib32/libgcc_s.so.1 (0xf7559000)
   libc.so.6 => /lib32/libc.so.6 (0xf73fd000)
   /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xf76f6000)

Notice that although the system is 64-bit aapt links in 32-bit libraries. This is what the ia32-libs package is for. So if you find appt runs fine on the commandline it must be an Eclipse problem.

Answer 2

try these commands line

sudo apt-get install libstdc++6:i386 libgcc1:i386 zlib1g:i386 libncurses5:i386

for running the emulator you need that additional package:

sudo apt-get install libsdl1.2debian:i386

then on Ubuntu pre-14-04:

apt-get install ia32-libs

On Ubuntu 14.04 use the following commands to install ia32-libs:

sudo apt-get install libc6:i386
sudo -i
cd /etc/apt/sources.list.d
echo "deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ raring main restricted universe multiverse" >ia32-libs-raring.list
apt-get update
apt-get install ia32-libs
rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ia32-libs-raring.list
apt-get update
exit
sudo apt-get install gcc-multilib

What It worked for me is installing "multiarch-support" package from Synaptic (Ubuntu). Then clean your project from Eclipse.
