When I was trying to build an android project on Centos 6.6 64bit, it failed with unclear message. I want to share my solution that worked so far. The error message doesn't quite clearly inform the culprit. It turn out that appt tool uses native libraries from the OS. After tracking down the dependencies, I ran this to install them:
sudo yum install -y glibc.i686 zlib.i686 libgcc.i686 libstdc++.i686
I got these messages at first attempt:

And then I tried with gradle clean build --stacktrace --info to get this:
