trying to make and run libp2p-host example results in error

[ssikdar1]

Hey I was trying to run the libp2p-host example and have hit an issue. I haven't had time to look into it, but creating an issue.

Using go 1.8: $ /usr/local/go/bin/go version go version go1.8.1 linux/amd64

~/go-libp2p/examples/libp2p-host$ /usr/local/go/bin/go run host.go 
# github.com/whyrusleeping/go-smux-spdystream
../../../go/src/github.com/whyrusleeping/go-smux-spdystream/spdystream.go:94: cannot use (*stream)(s) (type *stream) as type streammux.Stream in return argument:
    *stream does not implement streammux.Stream (missing Reset method)
../../../go/src/github.com/whyrusleeping/go-smux-spdystream/spdystream.go:126: cannot use (*stream)(s) (type *stream) as type streammux.Stream in argument to handler:
    *stream does not implement streammux.Stream (missing Reset method)

It seems this issue is related: https://github.com/whyrusleeping/go-smux-spdystream/issues/4

Thanks!

~ Kubuxu: reformatted it a bit

Yep, we're fixing that (we're in the middle of piping a bunch of interface changes through). In the mean-time, please consider using gx, our dependency management (wrangler) tool, by calling make deps.

@ssikdar1 thanks for reporting. Please refer to the README as the right solution to install dependencies for this package https://github.com/libp2p/go-libp2p#install. As @Stebalien suggests, we use gx as our dep manager and we recommend to use it always as there is no guarantee that it will work without it :)

Good info, but looks like make deps is not installing all required deps correctly.

[Stebalien]

How so? Could you post any errors you're seeing?

Trying to follow the steps for using gx and running into an issue. Does my gopath need to be set to something specific?

That's a bug in the README. You need to run go get -d github.com/libp2p/go-libp2p/.... Go is complaining because there are no packages in the root of the repo.
