When I try to $ go get, I got error "imports runtime/pprof: unrecognized import path "runtime/pprof" "

[sotayamashita]

When I try to go get, I got a error below:

imports runtime/pprof: unrecognized import path "runtime/pprof"

Is there any solution?

Thanks in advance

[tatsushid]

runtime/pprof is a Go's standard package so I guess something inconsistency happens in your environment. Please check GOROOT and GOPATH environment values refer the directories you expect

I'm having the same problem.

I don't think this is a Hugo issue, as runtime/pprof is supposed to be part of Go core.

go get runs perfectly on my Debian GNU/Linux system, with the golang, golang-src etc. packages that are part of the official Debian repository. While I don't have brew, if I were to do this:

mv /usr/share/go/src/pkg/runtime/pprof /usr/share/go/src/pkg/runtime/pprof-bye

then I would see the very same error:

$ go get -v github.com/spf13/hugo
import "runtime/pprof": import path doesn't contain a hostname
package runtime/pprof: unrecognized import path "runtime/pprof"

or, with the -u flag:

Perhaps something is missing in the Go installation? How about trying this?

$ brew uninstall go
$ brew install go

@tatsushid Thank you. I solved this problem to set $GOPATH and $GOROOT.

@anthonyfok You right. In my case, it is not hugo problem.

I'm having the same problem.

@fbartho You should check your whether your $GOROOT and $GOPATH are work or not and You should read below comment by @tatsushid .

runtime/pprof is a Go's standard package so I guess something inconsistency happens in your environment. Please check GOROOT and GOPATH environment values refer the directories you expect

I also asked this issue on Homebrew/homebrew.I close it too.

[fbartho]

I have the following:

$  echo $GOROOT
/usr/local/go
$  echo $GOPATH
/Users/fbarthelemy/Code/gopath
$  ls -al /usr/local/go
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  admin  27 Sep 30 12:28 /usr/local/go -> /Users/fbarthelemy/Code/go/
$  go version
go version go1.4 darwin/amd64

@sota0805 / @tatsushid Any recommendations on what I should try next? My other go code works fine, it's simply when I try to brew install hugo that things don't work.

[anthonyfok]

Hi @fbartho,

How about this?

$ export GOROOT=/Users/fbarthelemy/Code/go

I read somewhere that Go does not like symlinks when linked the wrong way around. (I don't know which way is the right way, but I definitely won't set $GOROOT to a symlink.)

Also, check and see if the directory $GOROOT/src/pkg/runtime/pprof/, i.e. /Users/fbarthelemy/Code/go/src/pkg/runtime/pprof/, exists, and if it contains these two files:

• pprof.go
• pprof_test.go

Hope this helps!

[fbartho]

tl;dr: This worked. Thanks @anthonyfok, @sota0805!

I noticed that there was 2 go's installed on the system, it looks like when I installed hugo, it first installed it's own copy of go (failing to detect mine?), anyhow, I cleaned up my custom go, and reinstalled cleanly via homebrew, then had to fight to setup GOROOT correctly.

# When installing go via homebrew, setting up goroot appears to be a pain!
GOVERSION=$(brew list go | head -n 1 | cut -d '/' -f 6)
export GOROOT=$(brew --prefix)/Cellar/go/$GOVERSION/libexec
export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin:
