`swift repl` fails under swiftly

[heckj]

I have swiftly (1.0.1) installed, and tried to invoke swift repl. It immediately fails with a dyld error trying to locate the LLDB framework:

dyld[11468]: Library not loaded: @rpath/Python3.framework/Versions/3.9/Python3
  Referenced from: <9E37CB76-6346-3B15-9356-DEA26D289DD8> /Users/joeheck/Library/Developer/Toolchains/swift-6.1-RELEASE.xctoolchain/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/LLDB.framework/Versions/A/LLDB

The extended error shows all the various places it hoped and tried to find it:

I don't have /Application/Xcode.app at all - having renamed my Xcodes by version to have multiple of them more easily.

If I disable swiftly, the built-in toolchain correctly finds and links the libraries and swift repl launches as expected.

A simple (but not ideal) workaround is to simply create a symlink in /Applications to the Xcode.app you have installed:

cd /Applications
ln -s MyFavoriteXcode.app ./Xcode.app

I was experiencing the same Python3.framework dynamic linking error you were, and this fixed it for me. Obviously, if you're swapping Xcode versions a lot, this will be kind of a pain to have to update this symlink.
