[android-beginners] Re: SDL init failure, reason is: No available video device
One possibility is that the emulator is a 32-bit program that expects to use the 32-bit libX11 shared library. You might want to install this if you run on a 64-bit system.

then it means the emulator could not find your X11 library (libX11.so.6) through dlopen(). this is really weird, what kind of setup are you using ?

hi I have no enviornment variable as SDL_VIDEODRIVER. Im running the emulator in a ubuntu machine (32 bit) .

[android-beginners] Re: SDL init failure, reason is: No available video device
Try unsetting SDL_VIDEODRIVER in your environment before launching the emulator. That should generally fix the issue. If not, please tell me more about your system.

Dave, Thank you, it is very clear. I have fixed it. It is caused by the python module version conflict. 2009/1/14 David Turner > You don't need to have SDL_VIDEODRIVER defined in your environment, the > emulator will by default try to find the X11 libraries on your system and > use them (then an error means that the libraries are not properly installed > or reachable by the application. this may be possible to installation > oddities on mixed 32/64 bit systems). > > A good way to check this is to use "strace emulator" to see which > files/libraries the program is trying to open (it uses dlopen/dlsym to do > that) > > A long time ago, someone reported a similar issue. the problem came from > the fact that they had SDL_VIDEODRIVER=directfb in their environment.

[android-beginners] Re: SDL init failure, reason is: No available video device
You don't need to have SDL_VIDEODRIVER defined in your environment, the emulator will by default try to find the X11 libraries on your system and use them (then an error means that the libraries are not properly installed or reachable by the application. this may be possible to installation oddities on mixed 32/64 bit systems). A good way to check this is to use "strace emulator" to see which files/libraries the program is trying to open (it uses dlopen/dlsym to do that) A long time ago, someone reported a similar issue. the problem came from the fact that they had SDL_VIDEODRIVER=directfb in their environment. This variable is normally used to direct the SDL library to use a specific video driver. But the one that comes with the Android emulator (statically linked to it for ease of deployment) only supports X11. hope this clarifies :-) On Wed, Jan 14, 2009 at 10:46 AM, Anri Lau wrote: > All, > > Thank you Dave.

All, Thank you Dave. I guess I did not set SDL_VIDEODRIVER. Could you show me where I can found the instruction to set the building environment?
