“unrecognized import path” with go get

Question

I\'m trying to install a web.go, but running go get github.com/hoisie/web returns

package bufio: unrecognized import path \"bufio\"         


        

Answer 1

The issues are relating to an invalid GOROOT.

I think you installed Go in /usr/local/go.
So change your GOROOT path to the value of /usr/local/go/bin.

It seems that you meant to have your workspace (GOPATH) located at /home/me/go.

This might fix your problem.
Add this to the bottom of your bash profile, located here => $HOME/.profile

export GOROOT=/usr/local/go
export GOPATH=$HOME/go
export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin

Make sure to remove the old references of GOROOT.

Then try installing web.go again.

If that doesn't work, then have Ubuntu install Go for you.

sudo apt-get install golang
