Go install fails with error: no install location for directory xxx outside GOPATH

Question

~/src/go-statsd-client> echo $GOPATH
/Users/me/gopath
~/src/go-statsd-client> echo $GOROOT
/usr/local/Cellar/go/1.1.1\\
~/src/go-statsd-client> go install
g         


        

Answer 1

In my case (OS X) it was because I have set GOPATH to /home/username/go (as per the book) instead of /Users/username/go
