Build failed: Crunching Cruncher failed

I'm having issues with app:mergeDebugResources task.

error:

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':app:mergeDebugResources'.
> Crunching Cruncher abc_tab_indicator_mtrl_alpha.9.png failed, see logs

I just created a new react native project with this command. No plugins and other code added yet.

react-native init MyProject

From package.json version 0.24.1 of React is installed:

{
  "name": "TestReact",
  "version": "0.0.1",
  "private": true,
  "scripts": {
    "start": "node node_modules/react-native/local-cli/cli.js start"
  },
  "dependencies": {
    "react": "^0.14.8",
    "react-native": "^0.24.1"
  }
}

The error occurs for android, not really sure if the same problem exists with iOS.
I'm using Ubuntu for development.

Gradle is at version 2.4 according to the gradle.properties file:

distributionBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME
distributionPath=wrapper/dists
zipStoreBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME
zipStorePath=wrapper/dists
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-2.4-all.zip

It's an issue with 64-bit OS, because aapt isn't available you have to install these 2 packages:

sudo apt-get install lib32stdc++6 lib32z1
