I don't think you should be setting GOROOT. GOROOT is baked into the binary when it's compiled. The value baked in will be different depending on the installation method you used. You only need to set GOROOT if you move things around after installation.
Unset the GOROOT env variable and run 'go env'. If the value for GOROOT returned by 'go env' looks good, then don't override it and you should be fine. -Todd On Sat, Oct 24, 2015 at 6:46 PM, Sterling Hughes <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Justin, > > On Sat, Oct 24, 2015 at 6:12 PM, Justin Mclean <[email protected]> > wrote: > > Hi, > > > > I followed the steps here[1] but have run into an issue when running "go > get github.com/tools/godep”. > > > > package bufio: unrecognized import path "bufio" > > package bytes: unrecognized import path "bytes" > > package encoding/json: unrecognized import path "encoding/json" > > package encoding/xml: unrecognized import path "encoding/xml" > > package errors: unrecognized import path "errors" > > …. and lots more …. > > > > $echo $GOPATH > > /Users/justinmclean/dev/go > > $ echo $GOROOT > > /usr/local/Cellar/go > > $ which go > > /usr/local/bin/go > > $ ls -l /usr/local/bin/go > > lrwxr-xr-x 1 justinmclean admin 25 25 Oct 11:25 /usr/local/bin/go -> > ../Cellar/go/1.4.2/bin/go > > $go version > > go version go1.4.2 darwin/amd64 > > > > I’m running on OS X Yosemite. > > > > That's odd.
