Answer 4

Probably you didn't follow the instructions completely:

64-bit distributions must be capable of running 32-bit applications. For information about how to add support for 32-bit applications, see the Ubuntu Linux installation notes.

Answer 5

I know this sounds weird, but make sure that your Android SDK path has no spaces in it. This is a known bug for the Windows version, and has produced similar errors to this, so it's worth trying.
