Installation of GO in fedora 11

[sumit srivastava]

I tried to install GO on Fedora laptop but GOBIN environment variable is creating some problem. I set GOBIN as well as PATH to /bin and got following error,

[root@sumit src]# ./all.bash
installed quietgcc as /bin/quietgcc but 'which quietgcc' fails
double-check that /bin is in your $PATH

guide me.

How? It helps to list the steps and the output, so we know what you did.

1. Why are you working as root?

2. The installation documentation is simple, clear, and asks you to
set it up in your $HOME user:

I tried it both ways, ie, as normal user and root too. It didn't work in either of them. And I followed the exact way it is given in the installation document. But still am not able to figure out the exact problem.

You are again only stating the problem, but, not giving any steps,
error or output messages that is required for debugging the problem.

'Tried' doesn't say what you did. It would help if you actually list
down what you did, step-by-step, with outputs, for anyone to see what
you actually did.

1} As mentioned at the installation page, my first step was,

export GOROOT=$HOME/go
export GOARCH=386
export GOOS=linux

2) $ hg clone -r release https://go.googlecode.com/hg/ $GOROOT

3)$ su -c 'yum install bison gcc libc6-dev ed make'

Of the above libc-6-dev was not found so I installed glibc which has it.

4)$ cd $GOROOT/src

$ ./all.bash

When I did the above step, received the error I mentioned in my post, i.e.,  

installed quietgcc as /bin/quietgcc but 'which quietgcc' fails 
double-check that /bin is in your $PATH

On Linux,

$ sudo apt-get install bison gcc libc6-dev ed make

(or the equivalent on your Linux distribution).

Source: http://golang.org/doc/install.html

On Fedora there is no libc6-dev. Try:

$ sudo yum install glibc-devel

If you install it in /bin, then you will need to add it to your PATH
environment variable, something like:

$ export PATH=$PATH:/bin
