SwiftShims error thrown while trying to use Swift's REPL

Hey,
I recently upgraded to Ubuntu 14.04 in order to try Swift out. I've
followed all the instructions given in the installation page (For the 18
December build) , but on trying a simple addition on the Swift REPL, it
throws an "opening import file for module 'SwiftShims': No such file or
directory" error message.
There are a few related questions on StackOverflow and AskUbuntu but
they've not helped. I've also read the question posted earlier in this
thread here
<https://lists.swift.org/pipermail/swift-users/Week-of-Mon-20151130/000134.html&gt;
and
as suggested my installation is currently in ~/swift but to no avail.

Any ideas on how to fix this problem? Would love to get started with Swift!

Thanks,
Projjol

It would be helpful if you provided strace output.

The relevant bit is in there:

open("/home/dorsatum/swift/usr/lib/swift/linux/x86_64/SwiftShims.swiftmodule",
O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

I am not sure what it should be loading but this file does not exist in the
distribution so I wonder why it is searching for it. I had the same problem
-- until I moved the installation to ~.

My installation was currently in ~ , I checked to see if keeping it /home/
worked but that did not work either. Any idea why it is looking why it is
looking for this module?
