[swift-users] Segfault only when running swift in system-wide directory

[Lane Schwartz]

Hi,

I'm on Ubuntu 16, and just downloaded the latest Swift package. When I run
swift from /opt (installed using sudo) as a normal user, I get a segfault.
When I run it from /opt as root, no problems. When I run from my home dir
as a normal user, things are fine.


Run swift (installed in /opt using sudo) as local user - I get a segfault.

lanes:~$ /opt/swift-3.0.1-PREVIEW-2-ubuntu16.04/usr/bin/swift
Welcome to Swift version 3.0.1 (swift-3.0.1-PREVIEW-2). Type :help for
assistance.
  1> print("Hello")
Segmentation fault (core dumped)


Run swift (installed in home dir) as local user - everything is fine.

lanes:~$ ~/Downloads/swift-3.0.1-PREVIEW-2-ubuntu16.04/usr/bin/swift
Welcome to Swift version 3.0.1 (swift-3.0.1-PREVIEW-2). Type :help for

  1> print("Hello")
Hello


Run swift (installed in /opt using sudo) as root - everything is fine.

root at kulusiq:~# /opt/swift-3.0.1-PREVIEW-2-ubuntu16.04/usr/bin/swift
Welcome to Swift version 3.0.1 (swift-3.0.1-PREVIEW-2). Type :help for
assistance.
  1> print("Hello")
Hello


Any help would be appreciated.
