<div class="">The swift file I was trying to compile was called `test.swift` which would become `test` once a linked executable. However I was in the root of the <a href="https://github.com/apple/swift" class="">https://github.com/apple/swift</a> repository that already has a `test` directory. That is why it couldn't link. Sigh. Once I renamed it to `ryan` it compiled and linked just fine.<br class=""></div>

<div class="">Which then led me back to the actual problem, i.e., could not build swiftpm. Still not sure <b class=""><i class="">exactly</i></b> what was causing the issue but I was able to get past it.<br class=""></div>
<div class=""> </div>
<div class="">I started comparing the configuration, home brew, env config, etc, of my work laptop (that didn't work) and my personal laptop (that did work) and I noticed that my work machine had a bunch of homebrew packages that my personal didn't. I uninstalled everything on my work laptop that wasn't on my personal machine. Voila, it builds again.<br class=""></div>

<div class="">Apologies for the radio silence. And thank you for all the support that you were not required to give; it is appreciated.</div>

<div class="">swiftc can’t write the output to the current directory. When you run this is your current directory writable?<br class=""></div>
