Hi guys,

I’ve been trying to install from source but keep getting this output:

I also tried with the -f option with the same results.

I’m running a Ubuntu 14.04 with:

$> go version
go version go1.5.3 linux/amd64


$> env | grep go -i
PWD=/home/chauvo_t/Programming/Go
PATH=(...)/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/local/go/bin:/usr/local/opt/go/libexec/bin:/usr/local/go/bin:/home/chauvo_t/Programming/Go/bin
GOPATH=/home/chauvo_t/Programming/Go
GOROOT=/usr/local/go
GO15VENDOREXPERIMENT=1

I’m not sure where the problem is coming from and could not find much help elsewhere.

Anybody have an idea ?

Take a look at the build from source instructions – you’ll want to use go get -d for fetching and then do make install.

@deb0ch Did that help?

I have got problems here after running make install :
bin/check_go_version 1.7
gx install --global
ERROR: install-path hook failed: exit status 1
make: *** [gx-deps] Error 1

Are you sure you have the GOPATH set and go-ipfs is in correct directory in the GOPATH?

This check should be done by the makefile but I accidentally removed it.
