Android sdk not working anymore on arch64

Hi,

Just have a strange problem I cannot solve. I have the android sdk on a ARCH64 laptop,working perfectly till 3 days. After a recent upgrade, the result of:

/opt/android-sdk/platform-tools/adb

gave me this output :

bash: /opt/android-sdk/platform-tools/adb: No such file or directory

After some googling, it appears that some lib32 libraries could be missing. After reinstalling every dependencies, the problem still remains. Any ideas ? Thanks

Re: Android sdk not working anymore on arch64

Yes,adb is installed. Same problem.

ls /opt/android-sdk/platform-tools/adb :

/opt/android-sdk/platform-tools/adb

And if I try to start adb :
bash: /opt/android-sdk/platform-tools/adb: No such file or directory

Another clue : when I try to start a virtual device from eclipse, I get this funky message:

Starting emulator for AVD 'myDevice'
Failed to start emulator: Cannot run program "/opt/android-sdk//tools/emulator": java.io.IOException: error=2, No such file or directory

My opinion is to to build a clean 32bit arch and chroot into this for using android.

Re: Android sdk not working anymore on arch64

if in your conf the testing repo is enable, you should enable the multilib-testing repo too in order to update  the lib32-glibc package
Hope this will help you

@ewilly

multilib-testing is enabled, but I still have the same problem,  even after a system update. Thanks, anyway.

@ebal

Right now, I'm trying to build a clean 32bit arch. First attempt is a failure, for the same reason. I still have the "no such file or directory" after chrooting. I'm going to try the arch32-light package.

Re: Android sdk not working anymore on arch64

solved:After installing eclipse and all the android stuff via the arch32-light package, I can use the android  dev kit.
@ebal: your solution is a working one. Thanks.

Re: Android sdk not working anymore on arch64

update: after installation of eclipse-android under the arch64 and a chown -R [username]:[username] /opt/android-sdk, I've installed every package I need via the eclipse "android SDK Manager", and now everything works fine. I can start a virtual device, and the android auto-generation "R" class works fine inside of eclipse editor.
For me, it means that there still remains a problem in lib32-stuff in aur pkgbuilds for arch64. I've tried to get more information about the "no such file or directory" java error, trying to debug it  with environment variables, but it seem to doesn't work.
My advice is : if you are working on an arch64  computer and you encounter difficulties for having a working android-dev system, try to install packages directly from eclipse package manager.

Re: Android sdk not working anymore on arch64

I've just had the same problem, after upgrade running adb gave me this:
bash: ./adb: No such file or directory

luckily I checked pacman again (10 minutes after upgrade ), saw new glibc package there, updated it and it started working again. I guess I can take an hour off now, my day was just saved

Re: Android sdk not working anymore on arch64

Thanks a lot! It works, but the packages' name have been a little different.

Update:
lib32-glibc
lib32-ncurses
lib32-libstdc++5

If you want the aapt works well, don't forget to install this:
lib32-zlib
