GO: unknown flag -trimpath

This is my first time with GO.

/* hello.go  My first GOlang program */

package main

import "fmt"

func main() {
        fmt.Printf("Hello World\n")
}

I am getting this error:

# command-line-arguments

/usr/local/go/pkg/tool/darwin_amd64/6g: unknown flag -trimpath

I can't figure out what the problem is.

Apparently it has something to do with how go was installed.
See GOlang Some common mistakes

after trying 1.3 means you need to unzip the .tar.gz file to / usr / local 

http://golang.org/doc/install#tarball

You can't just install golang 1.3 from the installer, you should try the untar option for best results.

Errors found during:

brew install spiff
go install github.com/tools/godep

# github.com/kr/fs
/usr/local/go/pkg/tool/darwin_amd64/6g: unknown flag -trimpath

So follow the section



Download the archive and extract it to / usr / local, creating a Go tree in /usr/local/go

.
For example:

tar -C /usr/local -xzf go$VERSION.$OS-$ARCH.tar.gz

Select the archive file that matches your installation. For example, if you are installing Go 1.3 for 64-bit x86 on Linux, the target archive is called go1.3.linux-amd64.tar.gz.

Add /usr/local/go/bin

to environment variable PATH

. You can do this by adding this line to your /etc/profile

(for a system-wide installation) or $HOME/.profile

.

export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin

To uninstall and get started: see Uninstall Go

To remove an existing Go installation from your system, delete the go directory. This is usually /usr/local/go

under Linux, Mac OS X and FreeBSD, or c:\Go

under Windows.

You must also remove the Go directory bin

from the environment variable PATH

.
On Linux and FreeBSD, you must edit /etc/profile

or $HOME/.profile

. If you installed Go with a Mac OS X package, you should delete the file /etc/paths.d/go

.
