Go Get OAuth2 Giving Me Weird Errors on Linux Mint

Attempting to follow along with https://jacobmartins.com/2016/02/29/getting-started-with-oauth2-in-go/

When I run go get golang.org/x/oauth2 nothing weird comes up, but when attempting to run the code using go run main.go

I get the following in my terminal:

Go version is go version xgcc (Ubuntu 4.9.3-0ubuntu4) 4.9.3 linux/amd64

Running Linux Mint 17.3 Cinnamon

Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

Solution

  • Looks like you are using go cgo installation. On Linux mint golang-go seems to be the distribution name.

    But I would suggest installing the latest version of go (or version go 1.5 atleast) as mentioned in the below link and try again.

    https://golang.org/doc/install

    Remove your current installation before proceeding with the golang-go installation.
