I ran this on the command line and the emulator launched:

   sudo dpkg –add-architecture i386
   sudo apt-get update
   sudo apt-get upgrade
   sudo apt-get install ia32-libs

See TISTUD-2992 for source.

Verified fixed on: Ubuntu 13.10 64-bit Titanium SDK, build: 3.2.02v20131217190633 CLI: 3.2.0-cr3 Android Emulator: 2.3.3

[ERROR] Unable to start emulator "API10_Android_2.3.3"
   
   [ERROR] Unable to start Android Debug Bridge server (exit code Error : Mussing 32-bit libraries is not installed.
   Without the 32-bit libraries, the Android SDK will not work properly.
   To install the required 32-bit libraries, run "__sudo apt-get install libc6:i386 libcurses5:i386 libstdc++6:i386 zlib1g:i386__:".)

Error message now displays a more informative error, giving clear instructions to the user on how to get the emulator working. Closing.
