Comment 1:

The instructions say "The Go binary distributions assume they will be installed in
/usr/local/go, but it is possible to install them in a different location."  But the
installer only lets you choose a disk, so it doesn't seem possible to install in a
different location.  (or so it was for me)

Comment 2 by j.christoff25:

I had to make this change in my .profile
export GOROOT=/usr/local/go
from 
export GOROOT=$HOME/go

Comment 3 by thomas.intlayer:

The .pkg did not add the /usr/local/go/bin directory to my PATH. I did restart the
terminal session and even tried a reboot.
Prior to running the .pkg, I removed all traces of the old Go installation.
I ran go.weekly.2012-03-13.darwin-amd64.pkg on OSX 10.6.8
In /var/log/installer.log I found the following:
Mar 14 14:14:09 macbook installd[64729]: PackageKit: Executing script "./postinstall" in
/private/tmp/PKInstallSandbox.3SyjRF/Scripts/com.googlecode.go.QfNvCC
Mar 14 14:14:09 macbook installd[64729]: ./postinstall: Fixing permissions
Mar 14 14:14:17 macbook installd[64729]: ./postinstall: Fixing debuggers via sudo.bash
Mar 14 14:14:17 macbook installd[64729]: ./postinstall: ./sudo.bash: line 20: go:

Mar 14 14:14:18 macbook installd[64729]: ./postinstall: cp: /prof: No such file or
directory
The directory /usr/local/go exists though and I can run the binary in there just fine
aswell as compile .go files with it.

Comment 4 by gordon@shephard.org:

I was walking through the tutorial, and I was tripped up on:
mbar:src shephard$ sudo go get code.google.com/p/go-tour/gotour
  Password:
  # cd .; hg clone -U https://code.google.com/p/go-tour/usr/local/go/src/pkg/code.google.com/p/go-tour
  package code.google.com/p/go-tour/gotour: exec: "hg":  executable file not found in $PATH
I realize it's telling me I need to have mercurial installed.  It would probably be
useful to provide a list of pre-requisistes required to use go somewhere during the
installation documentation, or at least a reference to the mercurial requirement on this
page:
http://code.google.com/p/go-tour/
Though - a link to all the things required to get go up and running would be nice as
well.

Comment 5:

I added a note to the code.google.com page for the tour. We do need a
better diagnostic of that issue in the Go command, though.

Comment 6 by jhoushyar:

On MacBookPro4,1 | Intel Core 2 Duo | OS X 10.6.3 neither source nor binary (amd65 pkg)
are working.  Issue appears to be networking.   Started with update on existing
weekly-2012-01-27; then zapped to fresh src install; and finally the .pkg binary. 
Source build tests clearly indicated net test fails.
Is this a known problem? (noted nothing on
https://golang.org/issue/3208)
Last working update on this machine/platform (for me) was weekly-2012-01-27.

Comment 7 by jhoushyar:

I ran $GOROOT/src/all.bash after yet another clean install via binary pkg installer.
Here is the test - note the net FAILs:

Comment 8:

Hi  jhoushyar,
Thank you for the feedback.
--- FAIL: TestMulticastListener (0.00 seconds)
    multicast_test.go:69: First ListenMulticastUDP failed: joinipv6group udp ff0e::114: setsockopt: can't  assign requested address
Seems like almost same as issue #3352.
--- FAIL: TestICMP (0.10 seconds)
    ipraw_test.go:72: ReadFrom failed: read ip4 0.0.0.0: i/o timeout
    ipraw_test.go:111: Read failed: read ip4 0.0.0.0: i/o timeout
Hmm, interesting.
I just ran all.bash on plain, I mean no VPN enabled, OS X 10.6.8 
w/ root priv. and had not any problems. Perhaps those issues 
depend on the environment, configuration of your node under 
test; e.g., VPN enabled, firewall, blah blah. I think you can ignore 
those errors for now.

Comment 9 by sdegutis@8thlight.com:

It was not clear to me how I would be able to reverse the installation side-effects on
my system (aka, uninstall the package) or if it's even possible, so I did not attempt to
use the package. I wanted to though.

Comment 10 by jhoushyar:

@mikioh: fyi, this was "plain" OS X 10.6.3 (note: 3 not 8), and no VPN just your basic
wifi access and then ISP.  ipv6 turned off in system preferences.
Issue isn't just the tests.  I have working network code (a Redis driver) that is
working fine with weekly.2012-01-27 that now simply hangs on net reads (and writes are
apparently not sent to end point either) with RC 1.  Besides the minor sig change
required by bufio.Writer nothing else is changed.   
I back tested to weekly 02-22 and problem was also present -- haven't bothered to look
back to an earlier post 01.27 release.

Comment 11:

+jhoushyar
Sorry I don't have 10.6.3, earlier Snow Leopard.
Anyway could you please file an issue as a separate issue?
It would be great help if you can provide simple test code for repro.

Comment 12:

Labels changed: added priority-later.

Comment 13 by jhoushyar:

@mikioh: 
Update apparently teased out a bug in my code and have confirmed it is not release RC 1
(on 10.6.3 ) related.

Comment 14:

+ jhoushyar Thank you for the confirmation. May the Go be with you.

Comment 15:

Closing these issues now that Go 1 is out. Please create a new issue for any problem
with the binary distributions.

Status changed to Done.
