Aapt tool chokes on a brand new Android project

This behavior has been reproduced on both a command-line and an eclipse new project. I have not touched a thing.

aapt p -M AndroidManifest.xml -S res -v

On 64-bit Ubuntu running Android Platform-Tools version 3 with 2.3.3 SDK.

Thanks for your help! Much appreciated!

I got this error, too. My solution was to fill in the full path AND the name of the android jar in the required field or variable. If aapk can't find it this is the error message it reports.

You are not including the Android framework resources. Use the -I option with the path of where to find the framework resources .apk.
