Android Emulator - Ubuntu 12.04

  • 772

When I type in the command

    emulator @Andreud

where 'Andreud' is the name of the AVD I created, it gives the following errors

    PVRDRIInitPVR2D: PVR2D device index (0)Failed to load libGL.so
    error libGL.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
    Failed to load libGL.so
    error libGL.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

and a blank screen in the emulator window, where I should get android home screen, icons, etc shows up.

As per a comment I tried installing ia32-libs

    aneesh@nb14:~$ sudo apt-get install ia32-libs
    Reading package lists... Done
    Building dependency tree       
    Reading state information... Done
    Package ia32-libs is not available, but is referred to by another package.
    This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
    is only available from another source

    E: Package 'ia32-libs' has no installation candidate

I want the home screen to appear. Any help is greatly appreciated.

  1. Best Answer

    On a 64 bit system you need the 32 bit libraries for the Android SDK:

    For Ubuntu 13.04 or below:

    sudo apt-get install ia32-libs

    For Ubuntu 13.10 or above:

    sudo apt-get install libgl1-mesa-dev:i386

    The ia32-libs are a 32 bit compatibility package for 64 bit systems, thus only available in such. If you already have a 32 bit installation, you have to install libGL separately:

    sudo apt-get install libgl1-mesa-dev

  2. Type command

    emulator-arm @Andreud

    Hope this helps :)
