I'm trying to install Android Studio on a 64-bit Fedora 21 system.

I got the JRE and JDK pre-requisites installed, unpacked the Android Studio installation, and from its "bin" directory issued "sh studio.sh" to complete the installation.

The Setup Wizard failed with message "Unable to run mksdcard SDK tool" and suggested that 32-bit libraries might be needed.

This bug is known upstream as 82711 There's a similar question for Ubuntu/Debian Unable to install Android Studio in Ubuntu. – Terrel 3/4, 2015 at 21:1

From a discussion of the problem at http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=303238 I installed several packages with the command

sudo yum install compat-libstdc++-296.i686 compat-libstdc++-33.i686 ncurses-libs.i686 compat-libstdc++-33.x86_64

After these (and their dependencies) were successfully installed, clicking "RETRY" in the Setup Wizard popup displaying the error allowed the installation of Android Studio to proceed to a successful completion.

Bug 82711 has some more information. – Terrel 3/4, 2015 at 20:52

this also worked with my CentOS7 (without compat-libstdc++-296.i686). – Bare 4/7, 2015 at 20:54

Thanks @DenysVitali, unfortunately this did not work for me. I had to turn on multilib support first. This is due to the three lib32 library dependencies, which are: lib32-fontconfig, lib32-libxrender and lib32-mesa. If you are running a 32 bit arch system, these will be called fontconfig, libxrender and mesa – Vala 26/2, 2016 at 19:0

Same problem. Worked on Fedora 25 as well. – Bryon 13/1, 2017 at 17:57

(This answer is for an Ubuntu distribution)

If you are running the 64-bit Ubuntu, the following fix should solve your problem:

sudo apt-get install lib32z1 lib32ncurses5 lib32bz2-1.0 lib32stdc++6

UPDATE:

For Ubuntu 15.10 and 16 (Provided by tony gil and briankip) :

sudo apt-get install lib32z1 lib32ncurses5 lib32stdc++6

This also works on GNU/Linux Debian 9 (Stretch) x86_64.

Okay, but there are several answers already for questions which reference this problem on Ubuntu, and this question specified Fedora. Since the solutions are not the same on the two operating systems, I'm not sure your answer clarifies more than it confuses. – Scotney 25/3, 2015 at 12:14

This question is about Fedora. for Debian/Ubuntu, see https://mcmap.net/q/150902/-unable-to-install-android-studio-in-ubuntu-duplicate/1260896 – Terrel 3/4, 2015 at 20:47

on ubuntu 15.10 i had to change this to sudo apt-get install lib32z1 lib32ncurses5 lib32stdc++6 – Galvanism 19/4, 2016 at 16:46

On Ubuntu 16 I removed lib32bz2-1.0 since it seems it's not available in the repositories, so sudo apt-get install lib32z1 lib32ncurses5 lib32stdc++6 – Oratory 27/7, 2016 at 12:26

Using this command i had issue. Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done E: Unable to locate package lib32bz2-1.0 E: Couldn't find any package by glob 'lib32bz2-1.0' E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'lib32bz2-1.0' – Tenuis 4/7, 2017 at 11:55

@Scotney From comments in this answer we can tell that Ubuntu has much more users than Fedora... – Drabble 12/10, 2017 at 2:7

@Franklin Yu: I suppose. I haven't used Fedora for a couple of years, and am mostly on Ubuntu myself these days. I guess, with the passage of time, I'm glad the hordes of Ubuntu folks who couldn't find the hordes of Ubuntu solutions on StackOverflow were at least able to get the help they so desperately needed. – Scotney 20/10, 2017 at 21:21

The Fedora Project Wiki also has an article about how to set up Android Development.

For 64-bit systems, you will have to install these packages

yum install glibc.i686 glibc-devel.i686 libstdc++.i686 zlib-devel.i686 ncurses-devel.i686 libX11-devel.i686 libXrender.i686 libXrandr.i686

For Fedora 22+ on a 64-bit system, you need to use dnf to install these packages

dnf install glibc.i686 glibc-devel.i686 libstdc++.i686 zlib-devel.i686 ncurses-devel.i686 libX11-devel.i686 libXrender.i686 libXrandr.i686

Worked for me too. Thanks a lot . – Anvil 26/12, 2016 at 11:57

You don't actually needs those -devel packages. glibc.i686 libstdc++.i686 zlib.i686 ncurses.i686 libX11.i686 libXrender.i686 libXrandr.i686 suffice, and are much smaller. Anyway the wiki link is great. – Drabble 12/10, 2017 at 1:50

Other answers here doesn't seem to work for the Fedora. So here I came up with a tested solution for this :

sudo dnf install compat-libstdc++-296 compat-libstdc++-33 glibc libgcc nss-softokn-freebl libstdc++ ncurses-libs zlib-devel.i686 ncurses-devel.i686 ant

Even i got the same error while installing Android sdk in ubuntu 14.04. This is a compatibility issue where you're trying to install Android SDK in a 64 bit system which inturn requires some 32 bit binaries for completing the installation.

Here is the steps to resolve the issue.

Open the a new terminal (ctrl + alt +t or R-click and new terminal)
paste the command " sudo apt-get install lib32z1 lib32ncurses5 lib32bz2-1.0 lib32stdc++6 " and if action requires password, give it.

Thats it. All the required 32bit binaries will get installed. once it gets installed, you can restart the installation of Android SDK, which will get installed completely.

on Fedora 24 login with su

dnf install compat-libstdc++-296 compat-libstdc++-33 glibc libgcc nss-softokn-freebl libstdc++ ncurses-libs zlib-devel.i686 ncurses-devel.i686 ant

It's hard to tell at a glance how this is different from existing answers. – Weatherproof 4/8, 2016 at 8:36

Please refer on this official documentation https://developer.android.com/studio/troubleshoot.html#linux-libraries

Shortly i put the snippets here

Linux libraries

If you are running Android Studio on a 64-bit Linux machine, you may need to install some specific libraries, as follows.

If you are running a 64-bit version of Ubuntu, you need to install some 32-bit libraries with the following command:

sudo apt-get install libc6:i386 libncurses5:i386 libstdc++6:i386 lib32z1 lib32bz2-1.0

If you are running 64-bit Fedora, the command is:

sudo yum install zlib.i686 ncurses-libs.i686 bzip2-libs.i686

Please note that those instructions can be obsolete someday, so it is better to follow / visit the official site to prevent unresolved problems
