When trying to start up my Android AVD emulator, I get the following error message in eclipse

Failed to start emulator: Cannot run program "/home/james/development/tools/android//tools/emulator": java.io.IOException: error=2, No such file or directory

However, the file is clearly there as displayed below

Any ideas why I may be getting this error? I was able to run my AVD yesterday, the only thing I have done since then is to restart the box (VirtualBox)

    There’s a double / in your path. I’m not sure if that’s causing the problem though

    /tools/android//tools/emulator
