Can not start AVD after creating - Android

Android system is emulated in the computer using Android Virtual Devices(AVDs). In my ubuntu ,When I create a new AVD using the AVD and SDK Manager it creates a file named

<avd-name>.ini

in the directory below  

~/.android/avd

When we try to start a virtual machine it tries to read the corresponding .ini file from that directory. Recently I created an AVD and when i tried to run it ,the AVD manger greeted me with the following error massage

PANIC: Could not open: ~/.android/avd/<avd-name>.ini

Just because of I typed
 
    sudo ./android

to run the  SDK and AVD Manager . For that it created the .ini file in
 
   /root/.android/avd

directory instead of the location desired by the Start command. Running
 
   ./android

command and cretaing new AVD there solved my problem.
