[swift-users] 'REPL not exist' when Install Swift 3(RC3) on Ubuntu 14.04

[Liyu Cai]

Yes, it works if one install the toolchain directly in '/usr/local' as you
said.
//
The problem here is it SEEMS the toolchain can only use the absolute path '
/usr/local/bin/repl_swift' to look for 'repl_swift', instead of a relative
w.r.t the current path of 'swift' command.
//
The absolute-path-only case may bring extra works when one want to
uninstall/reconfigure/upgrade the toolchian.
