drozer could not find or compile a required extension library

[spags22]

I am getting the following error with the drozer 'scanner.provider.finduris' command.
% run scanner.provider.finduris -a jakhar.aseem.diva
Scanning jakhar.aseem.diva...
drozer could not find or compile a required extension library.

Posts suggested to run 'make apks', but that also fails and throws this exception:
com.android.dx.cf.iface.ParseException: bad class file magic (cafebabe) or version (0034.0000)
....
....
...while parsing FileUtil.class

The Java version in the Androl4b VM is:
openjdk version "1.8.0_151"
