I've struggled with this for awhile! I'm beating my head against the wall.

I am trying to run fastboot (android-linux-tools/platform-tools/fastboot) and I am getting a No such file or directory message.

I am on ubuntu 12.04 x64. I am not new to linux, I'm baffled.

$ cd ~/android-sdk-linux/platform-tools
$ ./fastboot
-bash: ./fastboot: No such file or directory
$ ./adb devices
-bash: ./adb: No such file or directory
$ ls -la
...
-rwxrwxr-x  1 nick nick   159644 Apr 16 21:10 adb

-rwxrwxr-x  1 nick nick   149928 Aug 16 21:10 fastboot

Is this a new machine where you have just downloaded the SDK? Since you are running a 64-bit distribution, check whether you have installed the ia32-libs package needed for the SDK executables to work:

sudo apt-get install ia32-libs
