Hello Jan: Thanks for your prompt reply. Will try again. Will contact
author after that if unsuccessful. Yes, it is
https://github.com/mattn/go-oci8 - My inexpert guess is that there is
some problem with how git is installed in my Windows pc. Sanjay

Google-ing for help did not give a solution. I am less than 7 hours
old in Go, so perhaps after soldering on, I will eventually get to
install it.
Please share you experience with the author of the package, he/she may
not be aware of the problem because something might be different on
your machine, for example. I can't try it as I don't use Windows nor
Oracle.
Also, please double check you're installing the package the intended
way. Most packages are installed just via go get, but some others have
documented alternative methods for various reasons.

The description of the problem doesn't sound like being really
connected to Go per se.

Coming from the Perl world, Go/oci8 does not look as easy as
Perl/Oracle. Perhaps I have not internalised the "Go way" as yet.
Please consult the author(s) of the package, it's unlikely the message
gets through using this ML.

From the post it's not even clear which package is discussed. Is it
this one? https://github.com/mattn/go-oci8
