I am on ubuntu 12.0.2

your local binutils won't be used because architecture 'i686' is not supported.
[!] Could not find 'as' installed for ContextType(arch = 'arm', bits = 32, endian = 'little')
Try installing binutils for this architecture:

do you have the android ndk or the android arm toolchain installed on your system and in your path? if you are setting arch='arm,' it is looking for a binary called something like 'arm-linux-androideabi-as' in your system and the error is that it can't find it.. if it is 64 bit arm you would change to arch='aarch64' and then it would be looking for 'aarch64-linux-android-as'

@eudemonics i installed the gcc-4.6-arm-linux-geabi(should i have installed the android ones?cause it seems the batch accepted it) and i had psutils missing error so i installed the python-psutils and now i have a different error .... going to file a new issue

@shufan123 Install the binutils directly from apt. Enter apt-cache search binutils | grep arm to check which version of binutils on arm are supported for your linux distro. If you get any output from the above command, install them by sudo apt-get install binutils-arm* else, you have to compile binutils from source using the shell script given in the link mentioned in the error
