Gradle Scala Plugin - how to specify zincClasspath

Question

I am trying to use the Scala plugin with Gradle to build my project on an Ubuntu VM. This is what my build.gradle file looks like:

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 have looked around for where to specify this zincClasspath property, but can't find anything.

I have tried to force the zincClasspath to use an older version of the scala library, but it doesn't seem to work.

Any help is much appreciated

Edit:

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

I ran into this issue again recently, adding the following to my Gradle build script seemed to fix it:

ScalaCompileOptions.metaClass.daemonServer = true
ScalaCompileOptions.metaClass.fork = true
ScalaCompileOptions.metaClass.useAnt = false
ScalaCompileOptions.metaClass.useCompileDaemon = false
