[Slackbuilds-users] Which "go" to use?

[Christoph Willing]

Thanks all,

I built version from SBo master and since the resulting files didn't 
seem to clash with /usr/bin/go from gcc-go, I installed the package 
normally (into /). It all went well - I can now compile the go based 
project I was having problems with.
