Bug /usr/lib/go/src/pkg/code.google.com/p/go.net/html/token.go:289: undefined: io.ErrNoProgress about goquery HOT 8 CLOSED

1. update your Go installation. See https://code.google.com/p/go/downloads/list or http://golang.org/doc/install
2. Please set GOPATH and never go get anything as root or sudo. See http://golang.org/doc/code.html

Thanks @DisposaBoy !

I had run "go get" as sudo, and am now trying to fix my mistake. I have been at this for hours now, does anyone have any pointers? Thanks!

@olanmatt I'm guessing you haven't removed the files from your GOROOT. Packages inside GOROOT takes precedence over GOPATH, so you'll have to remove all third-party(non-go distrbuted) files and directories from there otherwise go get, etc. will just continue to try use them,

Thanks for the warning about the root user. In case it was just a PoC (Proof of Concept) in VirtualBox, but we have security vision, even :) I will do as you guided me. Thanks, guys :)

@DisposaBoy Thanks for the response! I managed to remove the package from GOROOT, but am still confused how I would go get without using sudo as I am getting permission denied. Is there a way to install the package I am missing? Thanks again.

You have to set your $GOPATH environment variable. I suggest you take the time to read the article that Disposaboy posted : http://golang.org/doc/code.html

It explains the setup required for a working Go environment. You'll want to point GOPATH to a directory that you have access (without root, that is).

On Ubuntu 13.04 with the go version in apt (1.0.2), I got the same error. sudo add-apt-repository ppa:duh/golang did not help, since the latest version was 1.1.1. I finally followed http://blog.labix.org/2013/06/15/in-flight-deb-packages-of-go, which will create a deb from a official package. With

$ godeb 1.1.2 # will create a .deb package for your platform
$ sudo apt-get purge golang-*
$ sudo dpkg -i go-VERSION-PLATFORM.deb

it's all fine and I have a fresh go version go1.1.2 linux/amd64 installation.
