Many build errors when trying to install Goncurses...

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Within my local Go workspace, ~/mygo/src, I do a "go get 
code.google.com/p/goncurses
2. I watch as the install process generates many errors
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
When installing Go packages, there is typically no output.
I am seeing the following:
code.google.com/p/goncurses/form.go:30: cannot assign *C.FIELD to 
new_field.field (type *C.struct_fieldnode) in multiple assignment
code.google.com/p/goncurses/form.go:44: cannot use f.field (type

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
go get code.google.com/p/goncurses

I am using go version go1.3 linux/amd64, and presumably the latest version of 
Goncurses.

Please provide any additional information below.
Platform is x86-64 Manjaro Linux.

I'm having the same problem (Arch Linux x86-64 with go 1.3.1), but my programs 
build fine despite the errors on a go get.

Sorry, I was actually running go1.3. It looks like the problem is fixed with go 
1.3.1 .

I assume that this issue can now be closed.

peter.arnt, can you update to 1.3.1 and see if that fixes your issue?

Not that I did much but you're very welcome and thank you for taking the time 
to file a bug report.

I shall consider the matter closed.

Marked as invalid as this was a Go/cgo issue.
