I just installed the latest Go binary package.

Got it to /usr/local - no probs!

`go version’ returns “unknown”

???

How did you install and what does `$ which` report on your machine?

jnml@3900x:~$ which go
/usr/local/go/bin/go
jnml@3900x:~$ go version
go version go1.25.5 linux/amd64
jnml@3900x:~$

I just re-installed the binary package for Linux.

All is well:

$ go version
go version go1.25.5 linux/amd64

Thx!!
