Problem launching android AVM/SDK gui using the tools/android executable in the android SDK. Ubuntu 10.

Hi I just installed the android SDK along with Eclipse 3.5 on my i686 Thinkpad T 60 running Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid). (Eclipse was installed via synaptic, i.e. a pac kage from the repository.) I installed the eclipse add on and everything on the Eclipse end seems fine. I also put the android-sdk tools directory on my user PA TH. Now launching tools/android without any arguments is supposed to bring up th e SDK and AVD manager GUI, but instead I get the following error: Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no swt-gtk-3550 or sw t-gtk in swt.library.path, java.library.path or the jar file at org.eclipse.swt.internal.Library.loadLibrary(Unknown Source) at org.eclipse.swt.internal.Library.loadLibrary(Unknown Source) at org.eclipse.swt.internal.C.<clinit>(Unknown Source) at org.eclipse.swt.internal.Converter.wcsToMbcs(Unknown Source) at org.eclipse.swt.internal.Converter.wcsToMbcs(Unknown Source) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display.<clinit>(Unknown Source) at com.android.sdkmanager.Main.showMainWindow(Main.java:265) at com.android.sdkmanager.Main.doAction(Main.java:249) at com.android.sdkmanager.Main.run(Main.java:94) at com.android.sdkmanager.Main.main(Main.java:83) The strange thing is I definitely have all the prerequisites installed, sun-java 6-jdk, and open-java6-jdk and have tried switching between them. Also if I look in synaptic I have libswt-gtk-3.5java installed. Also he AVM/SDK manager launche s fine when I launch it with eclipse. (You may wonder why i care, but I like working from the command line, and consid ering using emacs as my IDE rather than Eclipse.) If anyone knows how i can fix this please let me know. java android ubuntu-10.04 share|improve this question asked Jul 27 '10 at 14:56 zbeekman 8616

I discovered that it was because I had made t he /tmp directory "noexec" as soon as I made it executable, we were fine. sudo mount -o remount,exec /tmp Hope this helps someone. share|improve this answer answered Aug 29 '11 at 6:44 Bart 19113

Thanks that helped me! took me some time to get to your answer charroch Sep 6 ' 11 at 13:11 Wowza. That is the magic Harry Potter spell. This got DDMS to run from the comma nd line (not thru eclipse) on my Kubuntu 11.10 AMD64 install. Thank you. Garnet Ulrich May 12 '12 at 22:23 right there! another reason to hate java even harder than before... it tries to execute /tmp/swtlib-32/libswt-gtk-3550.so go figure... so if you really need RO /tmp (and you should) just symlink this dir to another place... gcb Nov 9 '12 a t 2:11 I don't remember ever doing this. I think it might be the default on linux mint. Paul Brannan May 30 at 21:55 Yeah, Ubuntu never gave me this problem - only Linux Mint. I hope the asker mark s your answer as accepted someday!
