No, I meant go install (I have corrected my “guide”).

Ok - thanks for all your suggestions.
It doesn’t seem to matter if I run w/ @kaushalmodi’s suggestion, of @bep’s - this result is the same in both cases (and same as before):

Googling for that error gives few hits. One of them is GitHub · Where software is built.

See if that or any of other search hits for that error have an answer for you.

24

Also, how did you update go? The best way (and has always worked for me) is to:

  1. Download the latest archive from https://golang.org/dl/.
  2. rm -rf ~/go (where I had the older version installed)
  3. Extract that archive (you will get a go/ dir out of it) and move that go/ dir to ~/go.
  4. I have set GOROOT to ~/go and GOPATH to ~/go.apps.
25

Yes - I’d already tried this…
I suppose I can clear out my go install (/usr/local/go) and do a completely clean install of go-1.11

I’ll try that later today.

26

Ah! So you didn’t do a clean install… I guess that would cause that issue :slight_smile:

27

if so, that would be the first time since ? 1.6 or so;

Cleaning out ~/go … is more work, since i have built things there I use. I can move it, and fix that, but… no time for that kind of baby-sitting work at the moment. Later. I’ll ping w/ results later, when I get back to it.

28

Ok - wiping out /usr/local/go and doing a fresh install there is what it took (I did not need to wipe out my ~/go).

Following that, go install from the cloned github directory just worked. (also worked on a fresh ~/go, but that was not necessary).

Thanks for all your pointers!
