I can't set swift toolchain path in ubuntu (CLION)

Hello Seunlanlege,

I already setup Swift sdk in Ubuntu 16.04 LTS smoothly, looks like your SDK path is not correct related to your Swift installation configuration:

Try with "/usr/bin/swift", which is your actual Swift sdk home, as CLion expects Swift sdk home path, not Binary path(remaining taken care of by IDE).

Also, I hope you already setup Swift configuration correctly.

For a startover guide, you may refer:

I already tried setting the tool chain path to 

`/usr/bin/swift`

I still get the same error.

I'm using swift 3.1.1 could this be the issue?

I'm also using the latest version of clion

Most unlikely, it works out of the box, than means your last swift sdk installation was not correct.

First cleanup your broken swift sdk, then adapt these instructions for your target platform:

Just putting / as the Swift toolchain path worked for me. lol.

(running on arch linux x64)

Apparently the path you choose must contain the folder `usr` underneath,  so in you case it should be just `/` but in general if swift is located at `SOME_PATH/usr/bin/swift` then you must select `SOME_PATH`.
