Did you install Go from a binary distribution or from source? If the latter, 
did you disable cgo? Under OS X you need to compile Go with cgo (the default) 
to access the system root certificates.

I installed from a package named go1.1.darwin-amd64.pkg, which presumably is a 
binary distribution. So presumably getting the tour won't work unless I build 
from source? I'll have to research what "cgo" is.

No, if you installed the binary distribution then the tour should just work. 
Let me think.

Now I recall that I built it from source so I could cross-compile Linux. So 
sorry! So I need to do that again with CGO somehow enabled? Whatever that is?

Are you the same person as the original reporter? If so, marking as invalid 
("retracted").

CGO is a mechanism for Go programs to talk to C code. It is used by the 
standard library to do various system-specific things, including fetching the 
SSL root certificates.

To recompile with CGO enabled, run all.bash from the src directory without any 
GO* environment variables set.
