Problems with Eclipse and Android SDK

Solution 1:

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

sudo apt-get install lib32stdc++6

Solution 2:

This problem is occurring because the Android SDK is compiled for a 32-bit GNU/Linux system, and your Ubuntu system is a 64-bit GNU/Linux system. The solution should be easy (since Ubuntu fully supports running 32-bit programs on a 64-bit OS)--just install the 32-bit versions of the libraries it needs.

The simplest and easiest way to do this is to install the 32-bit versions of all the most commonly used libraries, by installing the ia32-libs package. You can do this in the Software Center or in the Terminal with:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ia32-libs

Originally ia32-libs was provided because Ubuntu, in its default configuration, didn't support installing 32-bit Ubuntu packages on a 64-bit system. Now that this is fully supported by default, the ia32-libs package just causes the same 32-bit packages to be installed on your 64-bit system that would be installed on a minimal 32-bit system. (So for anyone who is worried this might not work now that multarch is supported by default: it still works.)
