Here are some corrections in the installation: 1. In /usr/lib/android-sdk-linux_x86-1.0_r2/tools/ type the command: chmod 755 * These are the Android SDK tools and are actually executable files.
2. The file /usr/lib/android-sdk-linux_x86-1.0_r2/documentation.html is quite useful and contains installation and tutorial on the use of the Android SDK. In particular: /usr/lib/android-sdk-linux_x86-1.0_r2/docs/adt_download.html gives a link to a downloadable Eclipse ADT plugin, namely: http://dl-ssl.google.com/android/ADT-0.8.0.zip So it is possible to download the Android Eclipse plugin, and install the zip file instead. Now I am studying the tutorial. I do not have the G1/HTC phone, but maybe, one can develop apps for the phone without the actual unit.
