Gradle Scala Plugin - how to specify zincClasspath

Question

I am trying to use the Scala plugin with Gradle to create my project in an Ubuntu virtual machine. This is my build.gradle file as follows:

apply plugin: 'scala'
repositories {
     mavenCentral()
}

dependencies {
    compile 'org.scala-lang:scala-library:2.11.8'
}

when I run gradle build from the command line, I get the following error:

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
A problem was found with the configuration of task ':compileScala'.
> No value has been specified for property 'zincClasspath'.

I looked around where to specify this zincClasspath property, but I can not find anything.

I tried to get zincClasspath to use an older version of the Scala library, but it does not work.

Any help is much appreciated

Edit:

One thing to add, this exact project works fine on my local Windows machine, but not on my Ubuntu virtual machine ....
