OSX Segmentation Fault 11 - Android

Question

When trying to run the Android SDK Manager in OSX, I am getting the following error:

Segmentation Fault: 11

This was working until today. The only way I can get the Android SDK Manager to load is using sudo. I have tried changing the permissions of the folders and this has not helped.

Could someone point me in the right direction to get this sorted? I have also run DiskUtility and repaired permissions on the HDD.

Answer 1

If you have an external display try disconnecting it. I had the same problem until I disconnected my external display. Once the emulator is running you can reconnect it.

Answer 2

A segfault on launch could be because the SDK Manager script can't locate a working Java runtime. Note that a recent Mac OS X Java Update might have disabled your Java runtime. Open /Applications/Utilities/Java Preferences and make sure you have the runtimes enabled.
