Error when getting gotk3

[ajmurmann]

I am getting the following error when trying to go get gotk3. I just started looking at Go, so it's probably me or my machine setup. However, I have successfully gotten and used other packages. Any help is highly appreciated, since I am stuck with this since quite a time now.

Thank you!

It's a cgo bug related to your Go being built with clang. See https://code.google.com/p/go/issues/detail?id=8238.

You can also try go get -u -d github.com/conformal/gotk3/gdk. That seems to have resolved the issue for me when I ran into it.
