Hi everyone, i'm very new in golang and i can't import a local
package.
I created 2 files :
main.go
--------------------------------------------------
............. package main
............. import (
...................."foo"
............. )

............. func main() {
....................foo.Test()
............. }
--------------------------------------------------
and foo.go
--------------------------------------------------
............. package foo
.............import (
.........................."fmt"
.............)

.............func Test() {
..........................fmt.Println("Test")
.............}
-------------------------------------------------

when i build main.go (go build main.go) I get :
main.go:3:2: import "foo": cannot find package

I don't know how to fix that. I do search but i can't find anything
that help me.

Thank you in advance. (Sorry for my english)

Sorry i miss one thing :
If I try to compile like that : go build i get :
can't load package: package .: found packages foo (foo.go) and main
(main.go) in /home/riad/src
riad@Temple:~/src$

to Floufen, golang-nuts

since you named your package foo, you need to place foo.go in
/home/riad/src/foo/
and you need to set GOPATH to /home/riad in your case.

go help gopath
will tell you more.
