everythink work s as described under CentOS 5.5 also for android version 2.3, except for the emulator:

[2010-12-19 12:22:20 – Emulator] /opt/android-sdk/tools/emulator: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.8′ not found (required by /opt/android-sdk/tools/emulator)
[2010-12-19 12:22:20 – Emulator] /opt/android-sdk/tools/emulator: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.7′ not found (required by /opt/android-sdk/tools/emulator)
[2010-12-19 12:22:20 – Emulator] /opt/android-sdk/tools/emulator: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.11′ not found (required by /opt/android-sdk/tools/emulator)

  Hi ur,
  
  This is new problem with CentOS 5.5 and Red Hat (RHEL) 5.5. It appears that the Android SDK’s one requirement is now Glibc 2.11 and CentOS 5.5 and Red Hat (RHEL) 5.5 uses Glibc 2.5.
  
  This is one “hack” howto get it working with Android SDK r08:
```
## Download Android SDK tools r07 ##
wget http://dl.google.com/android/repository/tools_r07-linux.zip

## Extract emulator from Android SDK r07 zip with following command ##
unzip -oj tools_r07-linux.zip tools_r07-linux/emulator -d /opt/android-sdk/tools/
```
  Do you got it working with this or found any other problems?

Hey. Like everyone else, I’m trying to install the Android SDK on my 64 bit Centos. When I get to step 4.1/4.2, I get an error saying “/android-sdk/platforms is missing” and “failed to get the required ADT number from the SDK” So I “ls” my android sdk directory and see I only have ‘tools”.

Was platforms and whatever else suppose to be downloaded in step 3.3 or was it suppose to have come out of the same zip file that the emulator did in 2.3? I notice that in step 2.3 the emulator is referenced specifically.

I did try uninstalling and reinstalling under root to see if that would fix it but to no avail. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

  Hi Malfroy,
  
  Sorry I forgot add CentOS on Android SDK download row…
  
  You have to complete all following steps on 64 bit CentOS:
```
## Select place to download
cd /tmp
 
## Download Android SDK r08 package for Fedora, CentOS and Red Hat (RHEL) 6 ##
wget http://dl.google.com/android/android-sdk_r08-linux_86.tgz
 
## Download Android SDK tools r07 for CentOS 5.5 and Red Hat (RHEL) 5.5 ##
wget http://dl.google.com/android/repository/tools_r07-linux.zip

## Extract Android SDK r08 ##
tar -xvzf android-sdk_r08-linux_86.tgz

## Move Android SDK example to /opt
mv android-sdk-linux_86/ /opt/android-sdk
 
## CentOS 5.5/Red Hat (RHEL) 5.5 Extract emulator from Android SDK r07 zip with following command ##
unzip -oj tools_r07-linux.zip tools_r07-linux/emulator -d /opt/android-sdk/tools/
```

Great article.

Just what I needed.

For anyone that sees this message
“Waiting for HOME (‘android.process.acore’) to be launched”

It does take an unfeasibly long time to run the emulator for the first time. Go make yourself a coffee and come back to it.

Great article! This was instrumental in helping me get the SDK installed back a few months ago.

New development – The latest Android SDK (r10) is available, and requires ant 1.8. Fedora 14 only offers ant 1.7, even in the third-party repositories. I’m stick at this very point right now :(

Hi Brad,

Nice to see you here and nice to hear that this was helpful to you. :)

And then your problem. I checked that stackoverflow discussion and yes you could install ant easily to /opt and change Eclipse settings. It should work, but another (more Fedora style) method is use yum package management system and Fedora rawhide repository.

Install rawhide repo:


yum install fedora-release-rawhide

Install / Update ant 1.7 to 1.8


yum --enablerepo=rawhide update ant

  No you can’t, sorry.
  
  You could run Android application just on Android platforms like:
  – Phones
  – Tablets
  – Emulators

Hello, I was trying to install the android SDK on a centOS 5.5 box and I succesfully installed but when I try to add for example the tools package that allows me to have gprs, touchscreen, gsm support I get a java Language null pointer exception and it disappears when I installed the android sdk tools revision 10, but this tools requires glibc 2.8++ which is impossible to install in this server… what should I do to have all emulator features of Tools rev 10 with the r07 emulator??

There werer no issue, I just reinstalled the rev 10 tools and then I replace the emulator file with the r07version and it worked like a charm.
