brew install doesn't set GOPATH

[Mehul Kar]

Hi, 

Instead of using the OSX package, I installed go using `brew` on Mavericks.

I have set up my `GOPATH` and `PATH` variables in bash_profiles like this:

export GOPATH=$HOME/go

PATH=$PATH:$GOPATH/bin

My directory structure looks like this:

~/go/

    bin/

    pkg/

    src/

        hello/

            hello.go

Inside ~/go/src/hello/, when I run `go install home.go`, I get this error:

`go install: no install location for .go files listed on command line (GOBIN not set)`

I don't see anything about GOBIN in http://golang.org/doc/code.html, but after setting GOBIN to $GOPATH/bin, I am able to install.

Is this an error on my part, a need for documentation, or possibly an issue with brew install?

Can you check if your GOPATH is actually set properly on bash? Run this: env | grep -E "^GO"

PS: make sure you reply to all, I had to include the group again

Hi Rodrigo, 

I hadn’t tried that, but I just unset the GOBIN variable and tried just `go install` and I get this:

go install: no install location for directory /Users/mehulkar/dev/go/src/hello outside GOPATH

Have you tried just running `go install` inside the hello folder? go tool operates on package names, not files (except the run cmd)

yes, looks like GOPATH is set:

$ env | grep -E “^GO”

GOPATH=/Users/mehulkar/go

Looks like your GOPATH is set to ~/go but you ran the go install command on ~/dev/go

Oh wow, that is embarrassing. Maybe I should have kept this offline. 

Happy Wednesday everyone! :)
