[swift-users] SwiftPM on Linux Failed

[adelzhang at qq.com]

Hi,

`swift build -v` output:

lsb_release -r
clang --version
which clang
/opt/swift/4.0-dev/usr/bin/swiftc --driver-mode=swift -L  
/opt/swift/4.0-dev/usr/lib/swift/pm/4 -lPackageDescription -swift-version  
4 -I /opt/swift/4.0-dev/usr/lib/swift/pm/4 -sdk /  
/home/vagrant/hello/Package.swift -fileno 5
error: manifest parse error(s):
/home/vagrant/hello/Package.swift:4:8: error:  no such module  
'PackageDescription'
import PackageDescription
        ^
`opt/swift/4.0-dev/usr/lib/swift/pm/4` directory has two files,  
libPackageDescription.so and PackageDescription.swiftmodule

The steps I have took:

1) [Success] Install dependencies , download swift binary release and  
verify thhe PGP signature.
`$ sudo apt-get install clang libicu-dev`

2) [Success] Extract the archive and add swift path to PATH in `.bashrc`
```
export SWIFT_HOME=/opt/swift/4.0-dev
export PATH="$SWIFT_HOME/usr/bin":"${PATH}"
```

3) [Failed][Solved] Try using the REPL, enter the expression 1 + 1
maybe encounter https://bugs.swift.org/browse/SR-2783, fixed by change  
permissions of CoreFoundation headers

4) [Failed][Solved] Try using the REPL, import Glibc
maybe encounter https://bugs.swift.org/browse/SR-5524, fixed by setting  
C_INCLUDE_PATH and CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH

5) [Failed][Solved] `swift build` said clang version is too low
Add ppa http://apt.llvm.org/

```
sudo apt-get upgrade clang
```

And now
```
$ clang --version
clang --version
clang version 6.0.0-svn311088-1~exp1 (trunk)
Target: x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
Thread model: posix
InstalledDir: /usr/bin
```

6) [Failed][no clue] `swift build` output no such module  
'PackageDescription'
