Hello all,
Following Anthony Martin's install instructions on Building Go on

I forgot the link to the changed files, i shall put the tarball on
contrib/pac in a few minutes

++pac

I use Ron Minnich's distribution from
http://code.google.com/r/rminnich-9go/
It compiles fine on native plan9-386. I had to do some minor changes,
however. Get this tarball, unpack and cpdir -m to $GOROOT
It is somewhat outdated compared to Lucio's version (this is 60.2)
## Go language install
cd
hg clone https://code.google.com/p/rminnich-9go go
bind -ac . /
cd /go
rc /go/src/9setup
cd 9/prebuilt
rc install
cd /go/src
mk install
###
Hope this helps.

I don't want to re-install yet - busy with other stuff. But I may have
to resign to the fact that I will need to do fresh install with the
latest
plan9.iso.bz2

What exactly about this makes you think that there's something
"drastically wrong" with your Plan 9 install? It looks like
/386/bin/go/8g doesn't exist. I wouldn't call that reason for
re-installing, unless I've missed something in that output.

I had the same problem with ron minnich's distribution, try to dive into
cmd and check the Makefile.
Ron's distro is 60.2, and the changes needed to compile natively are in
/n/sorces/contrib/pac/9go./tbz
HTH,
best,

Hello Peter,
Please can you give me verbose information on how to get it to
install.
Many thanks,

Hello,
get the tarball from me:
http://www2.gli.cas.cz/home/cejchan/plan9/go.tgz
unpack it and follow the instructions in go/9install
should compile fine on native plan9/386
be warned: this is version 60.2, much has changed since,
good luck,
++pac
