./fastboot: No such file or directory

Question

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

Your commands do not make sense. cd cannot return ./adb: No such file or directory. Please post the right commands. – Haldas

you're right, copy paste messed up... updated – Heteromorphic

This is weird, but can you run successfully this command ~/android-linux-tools/tools/android? If you can, you may want to update to the latest version. Or, maybe you can simply download the latest version, and see whether the problem still exists. – Polygenesis

Answer 1

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

thank you! not sure if this was on the old version of their website, but I'm glad its there now! – Heteromorphic

Answer 2

Try with su.

I had the same problem with .android directory and even with the ls command I could not see it(even after su). After su I could cd in the directory
