adb Problems with Ubuntu

I am new to Linux and am attempting to set up my machine for Android development. I installed the SDK, and I set up the path to the "platform-tools" in my path by altering ~/.bashrc and adding the following:

export PATH=$PATH:/home/user/sdk/platform-tools

When I type:

echo $PATH 

into the command line, it spits back the directory to my sdk platform-tools.

Now, when I type:

adb devices

The command lin开发者_如何学Ce says "adb command not found".

If anyone could help me out, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

The solution that worked for me was found here (Ubuntu 11.10 x64)

http://kenno.wordpress.com/2011/10/27/ubuntu-11-10-32-bit-applications-do-not-run-64-bit/

and basically even though I had the tools installed I just needed to do a reinstall of the libc6-i386 and it finally found adb.

Looks like you got the first step down, now you just need to add the udev values for your particular device. See step 3 here. If you are using an emulator rather than a device adb should work fine without this step with what you have. You have mentioned what you have done but not what the problem is so I assume this is the issue you are having. What happens when you type adb into the terminal?

With the latest android SDK, adb should be under platform-tools. Just put export ANDROID=/usr/local/android/android-sdk-linux_x86 export PATH=${PATH}:${ANDROID}/tools:${ANDROID}/platform-tools and check the file permissions (for android or other binaries too).

In older versions of the sdk, adb was located in the /sdk/tools directory. You may need to create a symbolic link from platform-tools into that directory for adb:

ln -s /home/user/sdk/platform-tools/adb /home/user/sdk/tools/adb
