UPDATE: 28/Apr/2014 - Golang package is now available on Fedora EPEL Repository. You can just configure EPEL repo and do a "yum install golang".
I have added go-lang package to the current repository. So you can try installing it using the following steps.
1. Install centos 6.x
2. Download and setup Fedora EPEL Repository
(Step-3 not needed, if you are seeing this on Apr/2014)
3. Setup hop5.in repository
4. Install go package
5. Write a simple "hello world" program to get started with go
6. Continue exploring go-lang, from here
(Note is not applicable if you are using golang from EPEL Repository)
Note: Please note that, go-lang is compiled without emacs support (to avoid pulling tons of packages) and with gcc-4.6.3.

I'm trying to get go running on centos6.4 (64 bit) and installed the above packages but having issues running go. Any ideas on why 6g can't allocate memory?
ReplyDeletego run hello.go
go build command-line-arguments: fork/exec /usr/lib64/golang/pkg/tool/linux_amd64/6g: cannot allocate memory
Thanks!
Brendan, have a look at http://code.google.com/p/go/issues/detail?id=1860#c6. Not sure how much memory pressure your system is under. You can try the option mentioned in the above comment.
DeleteHow do I add this so the paths work?
ReplyDeletehello.go:3:8: cannot find package "fmt" in any of:
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/rvm/bin:/usr/local/go/bin/src/pkg/fmt (from $GOROOT)
($GOPATH not set)
package runtime: cannot find package "runtime" in any of:
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/rvm/bin:/usr/local/go/bin/src/pkg/runtime (from $GOROOT)

Hello,
DeleteInstallation via YUM shouldn't have gone through any such problems. Could you do rpm -qa golang\* ?
Here is the environment that i have
[root@node1 ~]# rpm -qa golang\*
golang-1.1.2-4.el6.x86_64
[root@node1 ~]# go env
GOARCH="amd64"
GOBIN=""
GOCHAR="6"
GOEXE=""
GOHOSTARCH="amd64"
GOHOSTOS="linux"
GOOS="linux"
GOPATH=""
GORACE=""
GOROOT="/usr/lib64/golang"
GOTOOLDIR="/usr/lib64/golang/pkg/tool/linux_amd64"
CC="gcc"
GOGCCFLAGS="-g -O2 -fPIC -m64 -pthread"
CGO_ENABLED="1"
In case you want to add /etc/profile.d/go.sh you can try adding some of the above env variables to it.
Best.
Is there any way to install Go 1.2 on CentOS?
ReplyDeleteon centos 5.x there is no pre-packaged version that exists
Deletedownload this sourcerpm http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//packages/golang/1.2/1.el6/src/golang-1.2-1.el6.src.rpm and
rpmbuild --rebuild golang-1.2-1.el6.src.rpm
and see if it works.
If not, the last option is to build it from source :(
"package main" line missed.
ReplyDelete[nareshv@fallenangel tmp]$ cat hello.go
package main
import "fmt"
func main() {
fmt.Println("Hello, World.")
}
func main() {
fmt.Println("Hello, World.")
}
[nareshv@fallenangel tmp]$
code works without that, but updated by blog anyway. Thanks !
