Error executing aapt within eclipse

Although the Android Development Tools (ADT) bundle is available as a zip package for 'Linux 64 Bit' it states following requirements: 64-bit distributions must be capable of running 32-bit applications. And indeed, just running the packaged eclipse on a Fedora 19 64 bit system results in errors, because it can't 'find' several development tools, e.g. adb or aapt: Error executing aapt: Cannot run program "/home/juser/local/adt-bundle-linux/sdk/build-tools/android-4.3/aapt": error=2, No such file or directory: error=2, No such file or directory The 'no such file' is misleading because it is there (under $HOME/local): adt-bundle-linux/sdk/build-tools/aapt   Looking at the file $ file adt-bundle-linux/sdk/platform-tools/aapt adt-bundle-linux/sdk/platform-tools/aapt: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.8, not stripped    You have to install the 32 bit glibc: # yum install glibc.i686 This removes the misleading 'no such file or directory' message when trying to execute a 32 bit binary. With that the 64 bit Fedora system is capable of executing 64 bit binaries. This also removes the misleading 'not a dynamic executable' message of ldd when calling ldd on a 32 bit dynamic executable. Now you have to install missing 32 bit libraries the binaries under adt-bundle-linux/sdk/platform-tools are linked against:   # yum install zlib.i686 libstdc++.i686 ncurses-libs.i686 libgcc.i686      http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/57863/how-to-run-32-bit-programs-on-64-bit-fedora-17
