“No such file or directory” trying to execute linux binary on Android device

Question

I built a native linux ARM binary using the Android GCC toolchain (plain linux, no android or NDK).

I connected, from my PC, via adb shell, to a tablet running Android 4

Answer 1

To amend aditya's comment above, you can also use the following for the C++ stdlibs in Ubuntu 13.10:

sudo apt-get install lib32ncurses5 libstdc++6:i386

Answer 2

If you are working on a 64-bit platform like Ubuntu 64, then this tip may help you solve the issue. Just try to get the i386 32-bit compatibility libraries installed simply with apt-get:

sudo apt-get install ia32-libs

It worked great for me. Let me know if you are stuck in same trouble.

For Ubuntu 13.10 or greater

As aditya said in the comments to this answer:

As of Ubuntu 13.10, one has to run this now: sudo apt-get install lib32z1, you may need to get the C++ stdlibs too, with this: sudo apt-get install lib32ncurses5 lib32stdc++6
