When I run my android app from eclipse, I get this error.
Unexpected exception 'Cannot run program "/home/antz/Development/adt-bundle-linux/sdk/platform-tools/adb": error=2 No such file or directory' while attempting to get adb version from /home/antz/Development/adt-bundle-linux/sdk/platform-tools/adb COPY PASTE FROM Eclipse Error
[2012-11-26 13:43:08 - adb] Unexpected exception 'Cannot run program "/home/antz/Development/adt-bundle-linux/sdk/platform-tools/adb": error=2, No such file or directory' while attempting to get adb version from '/home/antz/Development/adt-bundle-linux/sdk/platform-tools/adb' However my adb is exactly in the location where it says it's not.
What is wrong and how do I fix this?
I cd into the directory where adb is (/home/antz/Development/adt-bundle-linux/sdk/platform-tools/) and I typed in adb and it says
antz@antz-90X3A:~/Development/adt-bundle-linux/sdk/platform-tools$ ls aapt aidl dexdump fastboot llvm-rs-cc renderscript adb api dx lib NOTICE.txt source.properties antz@antz-90X3A:~/Development/adt-bundle-linux/sdk/platform-tools$ adb bash: /home/antz/Development/adt-bundle-linux/sdk/platform-tools/adb: No such file or directory adb is green which means its an executable, correct?
for example, dx is also green and when I typed in dx into the command prompt, it works... whats wrong with adb?

If the ADB command is not found, most likely you need to install the Android SDK Platform-Tools package to make it available in the command prompt. Also, the phone should be in USB debugging mode.
Make sure your device is not connected as a media device. Can confirm that this is critical! On Android 5.0, go to Settings -> Storage -> menu -> USB computer connection and make sure 'Media device (MTP)' is disabled. When it's disabled 'adb devices' lists the device, when enabled not.
Failed ADB connections usually have one root cause: bad Android USB drivers that load in place of the right ones. Windows doesn't make it easy to remove the wrong drivers, unfortunately. But before attempting to troubleshoot an ADB connection, first enable USB debugging on your phone if it's not on already.
On Linux, Android SDK platform-tools package containing adb used to be 32bit. It worked fine on 32bit systems. But on 64bit systems you need to manually install the IA32 library.
For Debian based distributions try this:
sudo apt-get install libc6-i386 lib32stdc++6 lib32gcc1 lib32ncurses5 But since v24.0 platform-tools contains only 64bit binaries - so 32bit libraries no longer required.
