[lldb-dev] Unable to Locate lldb-server on Ubuntu

[Ted Woodward via lldb-dev]

I ran into the same problem with lldb 3.8 on Ubuntu 14.04. I created symlinks to get things working right. Now I can run "lldb" and it finds lldb-server.

In /usr/bin:
0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 26 Nov 17 15:22 /usr/bin/lldb -> /usr/lib/llvm-3.8/bin/lldb*
0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 24 Jul 18 11:06 /usr/bin/lldb-3.8 -> ../lib/llvm-3.8/bin/lldb*
0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 30 Jul 18 11:06 /usr/bin/lldb-3.8.0-3.8 -> ../lib/llvm-3.8/bin/lldb-3.8.0*
0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 24 Aug 23 17:50 /usr/bin/lldb-server -> /usr/bin/lldb-server-3.8*
0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 31 Jul 18 11:06 /usr/bin/lldb-server-3.8 -> ../lib/llvm-3.8/bin/lldb-server*
