BUILD with Ant FAILED for Android on a Linux machine but succeeded on a Mac machine

I am trying to build android project using ant from a linux machine. The project builds with no issues on my Mac machine but on the linux machine. Cannot seem to figure out why!

I typed 

ant release

Then I received the following message:

 BUILD FAILED
/android/android-sdk-linux/tools/ant/build.xml:885: The following error occurred while executing this line:
/android/android-sdk-linux/tools/ant/build.xml:887: The following error occurred while executing this line:
/android/android-sdk-linux/tools/ant/build.xml:899: The following error occurred while executing this line:
/android/android-sdk-linux/tools/ant/build.xml:281: null returned: 137

and the lines in build.xml file are

275 <dex executable="${dx}"
276                    output="${intermediate.dex.file}"
277                    dexedlibs="${out.dexed.absolute.dir}"
278                    nolocals="@{nolocals}"
279                    forceJumbo="${dex.force.jumbo}"
280                    disableDexMerger="${dex.disable.merger}"
281                    verbose="${verbose}">
      <path path="${out.dex.input.absolute.dir}"/>
      <path refid="out.dex.jar.input.ref" />
      <external-libs />
    </dex>
.
.
.
.
.

888         <!-- special case for instrumented builds: need to use no-locals and need

890            <if condition="${build.is.instrumented}">
891                <then>
892                    <dex-helper nolocals="true">
893                        <external-libs>
894                            <fileset file="${emma.dir}/emma_device.jar" />
895                        </external-libs>
896                    </dex-helper>
897                </then>
898                <else>
899                    <dex-helper />
                </else>
            </if>
        </do-only-if-not-library>
    </do-only-if-manifest-hasCode>
</target>

I hope someone can help

Found the solution. It seems that it's a permission issue. When building on linux I have to have write, and execute permissions.
