I am trying to build one of my android libraries and everytime I get the following:

I've tried Invalidate Cache and Restart from android studio and I've tried rm -rf ~/.gradle/caches but I continue getting the same error. I am able to build the exact same library on my other computers - I just can't get it to work on one machine in particular. Is there any other thing I might be missing that could cause this?
Okay so I finally managed to get it to work...
Had to run rm -rf ~/.gradle instead of just rm -rf ~/.gradle/caches which I guess forced it to reinstall all the gradle things and then the build worked
