Missing /usr/lib/go/pkg/include/ for native binaries

This might be the first go package that I do `go get` and which requires native binaries:

$ go get -v go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporters/stdout/stdouttrace
golang.org/x/sys/unix
# golang.org/x/sys/unix
/.../Go/pkg/mod/golang.org/x/s...@v0.0.0-20210423185535-09eb48e85fd7/unix/asm_linux_amd64.s:9: #include: open /usr/lib/go-1.17/pkg/include/textflag.h: no such file or directory

I checked and found that I'm missing the whole /usr/lib/go-1.17/pkg/include/ directory.

How can I get them so that my `go get` can be successful?

Thanks

That's odd. File a bug report against Debian? I don't know why they
are missing.

You can of course get the header files you need by installing Go
yourself (https://go.dev/doc/install).

Yes, I download the latest go 1.18 installer for macOS from golang.google.cn. There's no problem with the installer from the official site.

Thank you both,

I reported the problem to Debian, as I didn't find the include/
directory in either,
https://packages.debian.org/sid/all/golang-1.17-src/filelist
https://packages.debian.org/sid/all/golang-1.18-src/filelist

but it turns out to be *my own* problem. I.e.,

either the Debian package or the official one are OK.

Thanks again

Are you sure Debian didn't split it into multiple packages, like a separate "golang-src" package perhaps?

Looks like golang-1.18-go owns /usr/lib/go-1.18/pkg/include
