Cannot change GOROOT #2910

Closed brunoterkaly closed 7 years ago

brunoterkaly commented 7 years ago

I am trying to update the gogland ide to use a more recent version of golang. When I go into File/Settings/go/GOROOT, I am unable to change directory to a locally installed version of go, outside of the forced location of /usr/lib/go.

The reason I need to do this is that some of the libraries are dated.

For example, I am getting a compiler error, "undefined: io.SeekStart.

I am using Linux Ubuntu. I am using the bill from October 25, version 173.3415.23.

So to boil this down to simple questions is:

Why can I not change the goroot folder?

Can I copy the latest binaries of golang into /usr/lib/go to compensate for the fact that I cannot change goroot?

This is not the correct place for the issue. I was writing the reply to your ticket on YouTrack.

Checking youtrack. No answer yet.

There is an answer now. This tracker is not the one for GoLand. I'll not provide further help on this issue here. Thank you for your understanding.
