When I compile an android application ( I tried with the sample ones from the sdk). I get this error:

>Error executing aapt: Cannot run program "/home/roel/projects/sdk/build-tools/18.0.1/aapt": >error=2, No such file or directory: error=2, No such file or directory    KeyChainDemo        >line 1 Android ADT Problem

But aapt is at that location?

>[roel@archUSB 18.0.1]$ ls /home/roel/projects/sdk/build-tools/18.0.1/

>NOTICE.txt  aidl     dx   libLLVM.so  libbcinfo.so  llvm-rs-cc    source.properties
>**aapt**        dexdump  lib  libbcc.so   libclang.so   renderscript

Note: I also get the error "R cannot be resolved", but I'm pretty sure that when I solve problem 1, I also solve this problem

Answer

Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS solution:

sudo apt-get update 
sudo apt-get install gcc-multilib lib32z1 lib32stdc++6

Reason: aapt needs 32-bit libraries installed
