Getting a lot of cannot find package errors after go install . ./cmd/... command

Getting Help
1

Hello,

After installing and successfully testing golang on my Slackware 14.2 64bit machine following “Getting started tutorial”, I am experiencing some problems using go install . ./cmd/... command to complete installation of lightning network deamon (for short lnd) written in go.

According to lnd installation guide:

  1. Install Go version higher than 1.8
  2. Setup environment variable

export GOPATH=~/gocode
export PATH=$PATH:$GOPATH/bin

  1. Install Glide
    go get -u github.com/Masterminds/glide
  2. Install lnd itself

git clone GitHub - lightningnetwork/lnd: Lightning Network Daemon ⚡️ $GOPATH/src/github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd
cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd
glide install
go install . ./cmd/…

The last command returns a lot of “cannot find package” lines:

tenev@~/gocode/src/github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd$ go install . ./cmd/…
breacharbiter.go:12:2: cannot find package “GitHub - boltdb/bolt: An embedded key/value database for Go.” in any of:
/usr/src/github.com/boltdb/bolt (from $GOROOT)
/home/tenev/gocode/src/github.com/boltdb/bolt (from $GOPATH)

Note: this is not the complete error message but it is like this until the end.

I suspect that I have not setup correctly some environment variable but not sure how to debug it.
Checked above mentioned folders and did not find required packages but also saw that glide install is successfully fetching some packages.

Could you please suggest how to debug this issue?

2

Try running the file containing the main function and see if you are getting the same errors.
go run main.go

If you are still getting the errors that means you need to check your paths. Recheck if they are pointing to the correct folders.

3

As I understand https://slackbuilds.org/repository/14.0/development/google-go-lang/ go for slackware might be hopelessly outdated. Please make sure you are running at least version 1.8 as mentioned in your referenced install instructions.

Or how did you install golang?

4

Tried twice, first time using package prepared for Slackware from Slackbuilds, second time using the binaries from golang and following the “Getting Started Tutorial and Test” to verify installation.

5

Whats the outoput of go version? What was the output of glide install?

go version

tenev@~/gocode/src/github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd$ go version
go version go1.4.2 gccgo (GCC) 5.3.0 linux/amd64

glide install

vs.

  1. Glide uses the vednor dir to pin dependencies. Vendoring is only supported since go 1.5 (as experimental feature) and stable since 1.7 IIRC
  2. The program you want to compile does need at least version 1.8 according to its own documentation.

Please install an appropriate version for your system from All releases - The Go Programming Language

Thank you for helping, now it is clear to me what is the problem.

I’ve also saw go1.4.2 but got confused since I downloaded and installed 1.9.3 package.

Actually the root cause is that according to the “Getting started tutorial” I am extracting the binaries of go1.9.3 to /usr/local/go/, then adding this path to my $PATH variable.
The problem is that I already have go with my distribution probably coming with package gccgo (GCC) 5.3.0 linux/amd64 and installed in /usr/bin.
Since /usr/bin is first in my $PATH variable, go1.4.2 is always executed.

After running the command reporting the error using full path to go1.9.3 it was ok.

Thanks!
