gvm install go1.5 fails - looks at 1.4 directory?

tejasmanohar commented 8 years ago

Why is the installation of go 1.5 looking a directory that references a 1.4 installation? I just installed gvm and have no go installations yet.

$ gvm install go1.5

Set $GOROOT_BOOTSTRAP to a working Go tree >= Go 1.4.
./make.bash: line 121: /Users/tejas/go1.4/bin/go: No such file or directory

Do I need to do something w/ $GOROOT_BOOTSTRAP?

I've found the following workaround works for me:

gvm install go1.4
gvm use go1.4
gvm install go1.5

Thanks @fromkeith that workaround worked for me as well.

it's bad feature, in Ruby on Rails not need set version oldest to install later vesions.
