Libz.so.1: cannot open shared objects file

Question

I ran into a problem on ubuntu 12.04:

/usr/lib/ndk/android-ndk-r8c/toolchains/arm-linux-androideabi-4.6/prebuilt/linux-x86/bin/../Library/GCC/ARM-Linux-androideabi/4,6/ .. /../../../arm-linux-androideabi/bin/as: Error loading shared libraries: libz.so.1: cannot open shared object file: There is no such file or directory

I tried

sudo apt-get install lib32z1 

But he says

Reading package lists ... Done Creating a dependency tree Reading status information ... Done lib32z1 is the newest version. 0 updated, 0 reinstalled, 0 removed and 610 not updated.

Please suggest a solution.

Answer 1

After checking which distribution the libz.so.1 belongs to ( http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/i386/zlib1g/filelist ), you should try to install zlib1g:

 sudo apt-get install zlib1g 

As pointed out by @ E-rich, you may need to add the suffix: i386 to the package name for the package manager that correctly identifies it:

 sudo apt-get install zlib1g:i386 

EDIT (for CentOS or another distribution using yum ):

If someone uses CentOS (or any other distribution that uses yum ) that may end up reading this question, @syslogic suggested the following solution in the comments:

 yum install zlib.i686 

or, for 32-bit binaries:

 yum install zlib.i386 

Answer 2

It worked for me

sudo apt-get install libc6-i386 lib32stdc ++ 6 lib32gcc1 lib32ncurses5

Answer 3

For Fedora (may be useful to someone)

sudo dnf install zlib-1.2.8-10.fc24.i686 libgcc-6.1.1-2.fc24.i686

Answer 4

Check the link below: Specially "Install 32-bit libraries (if you are on the 64-bit version)"

Answer 5

sudo apt-get install zlib1g: i386 fixed Gradle problem on Android 2.1.1 on Xubuntu 16.04.

Answer 6

for centos, just zlib did not solve the problem. I did sudo yum install zlib-devel.i686

Answer 7

I downloaded these packages:

• libc6-i386
• lib32stdc ++ 6
• lib32gcc1
• lib32ncurses5
• zlib1g

Then I unpacked them and added the directories in LD_LIBRARY_PATH to my ~/.bashrc . Just remember to add the correct paths to the path.
