Hey there, I’m trying to install a profiling tool named StackImpact but I’m getting these errors. Anyone knows how to fix it?

Tnx.

According to the README, StackImpact runs on Linux or macOS only.

I guess this is because syscall is an OS-specific package and thus can only provide those methods that the underlying OS supports.

You might want to run go doc syscall in a command prompt and check if you see Getrusage in the API methods listed there. Most likely it is not there.

See also the Overview section in the syscall doc that advises that syscall is locked down because of various problems, and golang.org/x/sys should be used instead.
