unrecognized import path - install error

[ElDifinitivo]

As a preface, this error comes up while trying to install on an RPi running Debian Jessie, and as such it may be a specific issue to that architecture as I have had success installing on my x86_64 laptop. Version of Go is go1.6.2 linux/arm from the Jessie backports.

Trying to install outputs this error message:

Project is pretty much unmaintained so I don't know if everything still works, but your errors seem unrelated to discord-cli. Have you set your gopath correctly?

[ElDifinitivo]

I repeated the same process as I did on my laptop and double-checked the Go installation and I haven't noticed anything different. I might start from scratch again this weekend just to make sure.

Having probably solved this by now, but for others reference with this error, just 'unset GOROOT' fixes it.

export GOPATH="/Users/***/work/go" export GO="/usr/local/Cellar/go/1.8.3" export GOROOT=$GO/libexec export PATH=$GO/bin:$GOPATH/bin:$PATH

Hmm okay, closed.
