[android-developers] starting avd fails, saying it can't find emulator, but it exists

I've installed the SDK on Ubuntu 12.0.4. I started up the SDK manager
and updated several packages.

I ran the avd manager and tried to create an avd, but it just failed
with no information.

I then tried to create the avd from the command line, using the same
information I tried to use from the gui, and it worked.

When I tried to start that AVD, it failed with (some strings elided):

Failed to start emulator: Cannot run program "<myhome>/apps/android/
android-sdk-linux/tools/emulator": java.io.IOException: error=2, No
such file or directory

This is what I see when I look for this file:

$ ls -lt <myhome>/apps/android/android-sdk-linux/tools/emulator
-rwxrwxr-x 1 <me> <me> 24828 May 25 08:20 <myhome>/apps/android/
android-sdk-linux/tools/emulator*

As you can see, the path it's looking for DOES exist.

What's going on here?
