you can not run buildozer as a root .i was having the same problem then i created a non root user and ran buildozer application and it worked perfectly fine .if you still faces the same problem you might not have the 32bit library as i can see you are yousing 64bit version and the application is 32 bit so please install 32bit libs.using command.

1:>sudo apt-get install libpangox-1.0-0:i386 libpangoxft-1.0-0:i386
2:>sudo apt-get install lib32z1

that will do the trick.

I got the same error and ran these commands,

• sudo pip install --upgrade cython==0.21
• sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
• sudo apt-get update
• sudo apt-get install build-essential ccache git libncurses5:i386 libstdc++6:i386 libgtk2.0-0:i386 libpangox-1.0-0:i386 libpangoxft-1.0-0:i386 libidn11:i386 python2.7 python2.7-dev openjdk-8-jdk unzip zlib1g-dev zlib1g:i386

But still I'm getting the same error.
Please help

I got the same error with Android SDK Build-tools 19.1. I updated to version 27.0.3, and no 32bits libs required.

So, update de Android SDK Built-tools and the problem will be solved.

Getting this same thing. Tried several versions of sdk and of build tools. Still not working.

I, too, have the same problem and am running Ubuntu on Windows 10 (and installing the packages as KhishorekumarBS did above changed nothing for me either).

O.k. Looking here

`mkdir -p build-tools/0

ln -s /usr/bin/aidl ~/.buildozer/android/platform/android-sdk-20/build-tools/0/aidl`

Works for me.

Now I've got the problem that no matter what I do, it claims I don't have any SDKs installed:

` Android packages installation done.

I fixed the aidl problem by installing the 32bits version of the C++ library.
# sudo apt-get install lib32stdc++6
Maybe you could try it.

Hope this help,
Francois

Closing as stale, please reopen if this is still an issue.

Close the issue is all you want 🐸

[SCORPIA-oss]

sudo apt-get install lib32stdc++6 not working!

[tshirtman]

do you have all the dependencies documented there?
https://buildozer.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation.html#android-on-ubuntu-18-04-64bit

i'm pretty sure it's about everything that is needed, if not that list needs to be completed.
