Android Studio - Gradle build running never ends

Question

I just installed Debian 8 in my PC. I tried to set-up Android-Studio(1.4):

• Downloaded from https://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
• Unzip in /opt
• Downloaded the SDK and everything

When I try to create a new project, and also if I open an old project, it gets stuck building (I let it running for more than 1 hour and it never ends). In console it always prints:

$ android-studio/bin/studio.sh Tooling API is using target Gradle version: 2.4. Starting a new Gradle Daemon for this build (subsequent builds will be faster).

I have tried re-installing and restarting, and nothing.

The problem is probably caused by the a 32bit library requirement even with 64bit systems.

See this post missing dependencies android SDK The discussion is around eclipse, but the same issue applies to android studio.

If you are using Fedora this should fix your problem and help you avoid some other problems. Fedora version <= 21

yum install glibc.i686 glibc-devel.i686 libstdc++.i686 zlib-devel.i686 ncurses-devel.i686 libX11-devel.i686 libXrender.i686 libXrandr.i686

Fedora version > 21

dnf install glibc.i686 glibc-devel.i686 libstdc++.i686 zlib-devel.i686 ncurses-devel.i686 libX11-devel.i686 libXrender.i686 libXrandr.i686
