 You don't mention which version of Ubuntu you're using. If it's the
 latest version, then that may be the source of your problems. Android
 won't build on Ubuntu 9.10 out-of-the-box because Ubuntu 9.10 does not
 support java-1.5.0-sun. (You'll also run into problems caused by a too-
 new version of GCC.)

 If this is your problem, one thing you could do is install Virtual
 Box, install a supported version of Ubuntu, such as 8.10 inside
 Virtual Box, and then build Android inside that version. This would
 allow you to follow the instructions athttp://source.android.com/
 exactly, without running into problems caused by trying to build
 Android on a newer and unsupported version of Ubuntu.

  Hi all,

  I've been trying for days to build the android source in Ubuntu. I

  a lot smarter than me can figure out what I'm doing wrong :)

  Thanks in advance!
