More problems installing Android SDK and Eclipse

My first issue is: I cannot seem to find an executable for the Android SDK! I have downloaded and installed via the Android SDK Manager the necessarie files, at least I hope I have. To start the ball rolling I download: API 15, Android SDK tools and platform tools plus Android 3.2. Am I missing something? The problem is I cannot find any executable file to run my `Android SDK! Where is it?

I then went on to download Eclipse Java IDE, thinking that now I have my Android SDK installed it will surely run, the problem here is that when I try to run the executable of the download file it comes back with message: 

'The Eclipse executable launcher was unable to locate it's companion shared library'

Any help as to what I could do to finally run my Android SDK or Eclipse Java IDE would much be appreciated.

An alternative, if you're having troubles getting everything set up, is MOTODEV Studio from Motorola. It's a free product, but requires registration. One of the use cases we pay attention to is new developers who are having trouble with Eclipse and/or the Android SDK.

Disclaimer: it's my team's product.

In fact the SDK has several executables: adb, android, etc. You will access these via Eclipse and/or command line. Setting up the Android development environment is surprisingly painful. It's more or less described here. Try that, and when you run into your next roadblock, you let us know.
