Why can't I run the android emulator? java.io.IOException: error=13, Permission denied

Question

I have installed everything like I was told to by the android website and all I keep getting after I create my avd is:

Failed to start emulator: Cannot run program "/home/hevel/eclipse/android-sdk-linux_86//tools/emulator": java.io.IOException: error=13, Permission denied

Anybody got any ideas? I'm running fedora15_x86_64 if that helps.

try to run these commands in terminal: Navigate to your android tools folder (for me it's Android-SDK/tools/), then type:

chmod +x emulator
chmod +x ddms

go to your directory

/home/hevel/eclipse/android-sdk-linux_86//tools/emulator

to set permissions

chmod +777 emulator

I fixed this by adding executable permission to the file"~/sdk/tools"

Open your terminal and

chmod +x system file path ~/tools/emulator

Make sure you have given the execute permissions for the emulator for the user you are running eclipse as.
