Answer 1

After a lot of installing and not getting any result I found this and it worked.

This happens because some executable files in sdk/tools cannot be executed. Go to your Android Studio and Android SDK folders and make all directory and files executable by this command:

chmod +x -R *

Answer 2

If you are using Kali, Debian Jessie (or Ubuntu 13.10+), try

sudo apt-get install lib32stdc++6

instead of the ia32-libs mentioned above.

Answer 3

sudo apt-get install lib32stdc++6

After this you might get following errors

Use these 3 commands to solve those

mv ~/Android/Sdk/tools/lib64/libstdc++/libstdc++.so.6{,.bak}
mv ~/Android/Sdk/tools/lib64/libstdc++/libstdc++.so.6.0.18{,.bak}
ln -s /usr/lib/libstdc++.so  ~/Android/Sdk/tools/lib64/libstdc++/**

Answer 4

On debian testing, when i tried to run ./tools/mksdcards, i received the error:

error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.6: 
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Installing lib32stdc++6 resolves the problem, and was possible to create the avd.

Answer 5

alex@alex-desktop:~$ mksdcard 1024M ./sdcard.iso
bash: /home/alex/android-sdk-linux_x86/tools/mksdcard: No such file or directory
alex@alex-desktop:~$ sudo android create avd -n my_avd -t 1 -c 1024M

I have found this problem & i find a way first:

cd /home/alex/android-sdk-linux_x86/tools/

then write this:

sudo chmod 755 mksdcard
mksdcard 1024M ./sdcard.iso
sudo android create avd -n my_avd -t 1 -c 1024M

it should work :)

Answer 6

MyOS is Oracle Unbreakable Linux 6 - to solve this issue I had to install libstdc++-4.4.6-3.el6.i686 package.
