Android Studio build problem on Debian (Jessie) linux

Am trying to run Studio 2.1.3 on an Atom netbook with 1GB RAM. Oracle JDK 1.8. The build (of a virtually barebones project) never completes with the following exception in the console. I've googled this and there are many suggested solutions, none of which has helped me. Perhaps someone with a similar build environment can help?

Executing tasks: [clean, :app:generateDebugSources, :app:mockableAndroidJar, :app:prepareDebugUnitTestDependencies, :app:generateDebugAndroidTestSources]

Configuration on demand is an incubating feature.
Incremental java compilation is an incubating feature.

Can you add 1GB RAM to make it 2GB RAM?

1024x600 is my resolution

Atom netbook? I tried that once. You need WAY more processing power than that. Way more. Java may be free, but it does not come cheap.
