I installed Ubuntu 11.10, installed GNOME 3 (replaced Unity), installed Eclipse from the Ubuntu Software Center, installed the android sdk and ADT.
Now when I start eclipse I get a message saying:
Failed to get ADB version : Cannot run program
/home/ayush/android-sdk/platform-tools/adb":java.io.IOException:error=2,
No such file or directory
What is causing this error and how do I fix it?
The command to install IA32 libraries on Ubuntu is:
apt-get install ia32-libs
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt-get update
apt-get install ia32-libs
Before that please check your ubuntu version. if you are running with 64 bits, you need to install a linux emulator, IA32 bit I thinks. Verify on Google.
after that, your ADB can run easily on ubuntu.
I'm using Fedora 17 and I got the same error as the poster:
[2013-08-29 21:44:08 - adb] Unexpected exception 'Cannot run program
"/home/el/adt-bundle-linux-x86_64-20130729/sdk/platform-tools/adb":
error=2, No such file or directory' while attempting to get adb version from
'/home/el/adt-bundle-linux-x86_64-20130729/sdk/platform-tools/adb'
I know this works if you are using Fedora 17/18 (login as root)
yum install redhat-lsb.i686
And then restart the IDE and the errors no longer show.
I had the exact same error as you had, but on my Ubuntu 12.04 LTS version.
The following avoided that error for me:
1) Install 'adb' and 'fastboot' provided by the following third-party PPA.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb android-tools-fastboot
2) Replace the copy of 'adb' and 'fastboot' provided by the official Android SDK with those installed from the above step:
cp /usr/bin/adb <path-to-your-adt-sdk-package>/sdk/platform-tools/adb
cp /usr/bin/fastboot <path-to-your-adt-sdk-package>/sdk/platform-tools/fastboot
3) Restart(re-execute) your eclipse binary.

They have the binaries for 12.10, 11.10 and 11.04 as well.
Don't try to install ia32-libs, this library has been obsoleted.
So, you should install these libraries:
sudo apt-get install libc6-i386 lib32stdc++6 lib32gcc1 lib32ncurses5
