I am doing some Android development and borked my Gentoo system for the 
last time and decided to install ubuntu.  Everything went fine until I 
tried to build my projects.  Eclipse shows errors executing "aapt".  So 
I checked on aapt and it is definitely there, but look at the following:

bruce at erisa:~/android-sdk-linux/platforms/android-1.6/tools$ ls -al
total 4596
drwxr-xr-x 3 bruce bruce    4096 2009-10-30 19:09 .

-rw-r----- 1 bruce bruce   10800 2009-10-30 19:09 NOTICE.txt
bruce at erisa:~/android-sdk-linux/platforms/android-1.6/tools$ ./aapt
bash: ./aapt: No such file or directory
bruce at erisa:~/android-sdk-linux/platforms/android-1.6/tools$

aapt is there and it is executable by bruce.  So why isn't bash finding 
it?  I must be missing something obvious.
