I have freshly installed Ubuntu OS , installed Eclipse and then added Android sdk as well as running ABD fine.But while compiling on Simulator or Device I am getting the following error on console

[2011-11-04 22:28:25 - dealkart] -a print Android-specific data (resources, manifest) when listing
[2011-11-04 22:28:25 - dealkart] -c specify which configurations to include. The default is all
[2011-11-04 22:28:25 - dealkart] configurations. The value of the parameter should be a comma
[2011-11-04 22:28:25 - dealkart] separated list of configuration values. Locales should be specified
[2011-11-04 22:28:25 - dealkart] as either a language or language-region pair. Some examples:
[2011-11-04 22:28:25 - dealkart] en
[2011-11-04 22:28:25 - dealkart] port,en
[2011-11-04 22:28:25 - dealkart] port,land,en_US
[2011-11-04 22:28:25 - dealkart] If you put the special locale, zz_ZZ on the list, it will perform
[2011-11-04 22:28:25 - dealkart] pseudolocalization on the default locale, modifying all of the
[2011-11-04 22:28:25 - dealkart] strings so you can look for strings that missed the
[2011-11-04 22:28:25 - dealkart] internationalization process. For example:
[2011-11-04 22:28:25 - dealkart] port,land,zz_ZZ
[2011-11-04 22:28:25 - dealkart] -d one or more device assets to include, separated by commas

[2011-11-04 22:28:25 - dealkart] -S directory in which to find resources. Multiple directories will be scanned
[2011-11-04 22:28:25 - dealkart] and the first match found (left to right) will take precedence.
[2011-11-04 22:28:25 - dealkart] -0 specifies an additional extension for which such files will not
[2011-11-04 22:28:25 - dealkart] be stored compressed in the .apk. An empty string means to not
[2011-11-04 22:28:25 - dealkart] compress any files at all.
[2011-11-04 22:28:25 - dealkart] --debug-mode
[2011-11-04 22:28:25 - dealkart] inserts android:debuggable="true" in to the application node of the
[2011-11-04 22:28:25 - dealkart] manifest, making the application debuggable even on production devices.
[2011-11-04 22:28:25 - dealkart] --min-sdk-version
[2011-11-04 22:28:25 - dealkart] inserts android:minSdkVersion in to manifest. If the version is 7 or
[2011-11-04 22:28:25 - dealkart] higher, the default encoding for resources will be in UTF-8.
[2011-11-04 22:28:25 - dealkart] --target-sdk-version
[2011-11-04 22:28:25 - dealkart] inserts android:targetSdkVersion in to manifest.
[2011-11-04 22:28:25 - dealkart] --max-res-version
[2011-11-04 22:28:25 - dealkart] ignores versioned resource directories above the given value.
[2011-11-04 22:28:25 - dealkart] --values
[2011-11-04 22:28:25 - dealkart] when used with "dump resources" also includes resource values.
[2011-11-04 22:28:25 - dealkart] --version-code
[2011-11-04 22:28:25 - dealkart] inserts android:versionCode in to manifest.

[2011-11-04 22:28:25 - dealkart] --custom-package
[2011-11-04 22:28:25 - dealkart] generates R.java into a different package.
[2011-11-04 22:28:25 - dealkart] --auto-add-overlay
[2011-11-04 22:28:25 - dealkart] Automatically add resources that are only in overlays.
[2011-11-04 22:28:25 - dealkart] --rename-manifest-package
[2011-11-04 22:28:25 - dealkart] Rewrite the manifest so that its package name is the package name
[2011-11-04 22:28:25 - dealkart] given here. Relative class names (for example .Foo) will be
[2011-11-04 22:28:25 - dealkart] changed to absolute names with the old package so that the code
[2011-11-04 22:28:25 - dealkart] does not need to change.
[2011-11-04 22:28:25 - dealkart] --rename-instrumentation-target-package
[2011-11-04 22:28:25 - dealkart] Rewrite the manifest so that all of its instrumentation
[2011-11-04 22:28:25 - dealkart] components target the given package. Useful when used in
[2011-11-04 22:28:25 - dealkart] conjunction with --rename-manifest-package to fix tests against
[2011-11-04 22:28:25 - dealkart] a package that has been renamed.
[2011-11-04 22:28:25 - dealkart] --product
[2011-11-04 22:28:25 - dealkart] Specifies which variant to choose for strings that have
[2011-11-04 22:28:25 - dealkart] product variants
[2011-11-04 22:28:25 - dealkart] --utf16
[2011-11-04 22:28:25 - dealkart] changes default encoding for resources to UTF-16. Only useful when API
[2011-11-04 22:28:25 - dealkart] level is set to 7 or higher where the default encoding is UTF-8.
[2011-11-04 22:28:25 - dealkart] --non-constant-id
[2011-11-04 22:28:25 - dealkart] Make the resources ID non constant. This is required to make an R java class
[2011-11-04 22:28:25 - dealkart] that does not contain the final value but is used to make reusable compiled
[2011-11-04 22:28:25 - dealkart] libraries that need to access resources.
Tried with many other alternate questions posted over internet but unable to find the solution for it.Tried several other duplicate looking questions over stackoverflow like After update ADV getting error "Unknown option '–no-crunch'" when try to run or Error while creating new project in Android or Android – ERROR: Unknown option '–no-crunch' or . Any other way i could approach its solution ?? Updated SDK, ADB and Developer Tools. Everything is up to date as it is a fresh install.
This happens when you have a version mismatch between your Android Eclipse Plugin and the platform-tools on your system. The –nocrunch option was added in the most recent release. I know you said everything is up to date, but it doesn’t look like that’s the case. Run the SDK manager and check the Available Packages. Make sure you have both the
Android SDK Tools, Revision 15and theAndroid SDK Platform-tools, revision 9
