"aapt" IOException error=2, No such file or directory" why can't I build my gradle on jenkins?

Question

I have a little problem.

The Problem:
I am trying to build a gradle of my Android Project on Jenkins and now I am standing on this problem i can't resolve. During the Building I have this Error message:

:Client:mergeDebugResources
/var/lib/jenkins/workspace/LMA-Client/Client/build/exploded-aar/com.google.android.gms/play-services/3.1.59/res/drawable-hdpi/common_signin_btn_text_focus_light.9.png: 
Error: Cannot run program "/opt/android-sdk/build-tools/19.0.1/aapt": java.io.IOException: error=2, No such file or directory
:Client:mergeDebugResources FAILED

You can imagine that this aapt... yep its there and the png... its there too, so the mistake must be somewhere else.

The Solution?
Now I googled 1-2 hours around, surfed on this great Website and what I found is that if Jenkins runs on a 64-bit system, I need to install the ia32-libs. Like that:

sudo apt-get install ia32-libs

now I tried that, and I couldn't install it:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 ia32-libs : Depends: ia32-libs-multiarch

so I tried to install "ia32-libs-multiarch", but again:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 ia32-libs-multiarch:i386 : Depends: libgphoto2-2:i386 but it is not going to be installed
                            Depends: libsane:i386 but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

Finally
so finally im standing here and asking me: is that really the solution? And why should I install this thing? And how? So please help me, I think I am not far away from the answer.

Solution 1

I had the following similar error on Ubuntu 13.10:

Cannot run program "/usr/local/android-sdk-linux/build-tools/19.0.3/aapt": error=2, No such file or directory

And this answer fixed it for me:

To get aapt working (this fixed my issues with the avd as well) just install these two packages:

sudo apt-get install lib32stdc++6 lib32z1

Solution 2

For Arch 64 users, you must first enable multilib for pacman, then install the 32-bit packages:

sudo pacman -Syv lib32-libstdc++5 lib32-zlib

Solution 3

For Fedora users:

sudo dnf install zlib.i686 libstdc++.i686

That fixed the problem for me in Ubuntu 14.04

[MinceMan]

That fixed it for me in Ubuntu 14.04 as well.

building chrome on Ubuntu 14.04 and this helped get me by the same error I was having with aapt. Note ldd aapt now works, and shows dependencies. Previously it stated that the program wasn't a dynamic executable "not a dynamic executable". Now on to the next problem!

[CesarTrigo]

Amen! also fix node exec aapt issues

[Khai Dinh]

Fixed my issue as well on Ubuntu 14.04, while running an ionic framework build.

[Leo Moore]

Thanks. That fixed it for me in Ubuntu 14.10. I presume it must require these 32 bit libraries which are not installed by default in 64 bit Ubuntu

SDK Manager -> System Settings -> Android SDK -> Checkbox "Android NDK" - 1.0.0 Installed. I still get the OP's error.

[JosephK]

In CentOS, these packages are non-existent. yum install libstdc++-4.8.5-4.el7.i686 zlib.i686 . That worked for me.

[IgorGanapolsky]

What about on a mac??

[JehandadK]

Use brew on mac for same packages

[Vishwesh Jainkuniya]

Thanks searching lot i got this answer and it works.

luckily my centos is just the same like fedora :)

[soywod]

Worked like a charm (4.16.13-2-ARCH), I just had to replace my x64 image by x86 one

[Admin]

Confirmed this to be working on Ubuntu Server 18.04.1 as well.

I had the same issue. Trying to execute ./aapt manually returned "no such file or directory: ./aapt" (Zsh). This worked.
