Problem installing the gocode for goclipse

[Amitabh Arya]

Hi

            I have Ubuntu 64bit OS, Go language and goclipse are working fine. But when I am trying to install the gocode for goclipse with following command: 

go get -u github.com/nsf/gocode

Getting error as go command not found in my terminal. 

Can any one suggest me the solution.

Also I didn't install the google app engine. Do I really need to install the google app engine. if yes then why?

Sounds like Go is not correctly installed/configured in your environment. See
the docs for correct setup:

http://weekly.golang.org/doc/install

I am actually using 6g compiler and the document you are suggesting, is for different compiler. I again install the go from source as documented. "http://weekly.golang.org/doc/install/source"

And as before I am able to run my programs with, "6g then 6l and then 6.out" way.. not the other way "go run" 

So Do I need to install the other compiler GCC. And without it I can not use "gocode". Because with GCC, I am not able to set the Goclipse.

I have source code of gocode. And I think I just need to compile it to go/bin folder.

Please suggest me the better idea. All suggestions are welcome.

The "go" tool is only in the "weekly" releases of Go, which you are
probably not running. Change to your go src directory and run

hg ident

The instructions you list above to install from source will install the last
stable release r60.3, the "go" tool is not available in that release. You will
need a newer release (weekly).

No you don't need gccgo.

Clean out your installation location then either use the same instructions you
pasted above (weekly.golang.org/doc/install/source) but instead of cloning and
updating to the release branch update to the latest weekly release. Go 1 is
not far away and I'd recommend using latest weekly as there have been
significant language changes sinece r60.3 release.

hg clone -u weekly https://code.google.com/p/go

Alternativley, instead of starting from the begining you may simply nuke your
install locations and in the source tree do:

$ hg update weekly
$ cd go/src
$ ./all.bash

When you have built and installed the weekly release, make sure the gocode
source is located in the following directory:

$GOPATH/src/github.com/nsf/gocode

Then build gocode with:

go build -v github.com/nsf/gocode...

Alternatively just grab the latest and install using go get

go get github.com/nsf/gocode

Sorry that should be:

go install -v github.com/nsf/gocode...

Seems its too hard to install the gocode for me lol. I did all that and when I am running following command ( $ ./all.bash) after update, getting following error

/home/amitabh/go/src/pkg/runtime/zruntime_defs_linux_amd64.go:54: too many errors

Also at update, it has deleted my compiler 6g. Was this expected or something went wrong.  Attaching complete terminal command I run (as log file). Please check. Thanks for your support Graham.

The error about redeclaration suggests you might have old files still lying around. have you tried explcitly clear(deleting) everything in the `go` directory to ensure a clean install?
