"unrecognized import path" with go get

go, installation

Solution

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`

Problem

I'm trying to install a `web.go`, but running `go get github.com/hoisie/web` returns ``` package bufio: unrecognized import path "bufio" package bytes: unrecognized import path "bytes" package crypto/rand: unrecognized import path "crypto/rand" package crypto/sha1: unrecognized import path "crypto/sha1" package crypto/tls: unrecognized import path "crypto/tls" package encoding/base64: unrecognized import path "encoding/base64" package encoding/binary: unrecognized import path "encoding/binary" package encoding/json: unrecognized import path "encoding/json" package errors: unrecognized import path "errors" package fmt: unrecognized import path "fmt" ``` and this continues for a while with various packages, before returning nothing else. `go env` gives me: ``` GOARCH="amd64" GOBIN="/usr/local/go/bin" GOCHAR="6" GOEXE="" GOHOSTARCH="amd64" GOHOSTOS="linux" GOOS="linux" GOPATH="" GORACE="" GOROOT="/home/me/go" GOTOOLDIR="/home/me/go/pkg/tool/linux_amd64" TERM="dumb" CC="gcc" GOGCCFLAGS="-g -O2 -fPIC -m64 -pthread" CXX="g++" CGO_ENABLED="1" ``` How can I install `web.go`? Using `go get` (rather than `go install`) is what is in the README on the github page. My Go version is `go version go1.2 linux/amd64`.
