It looks like your using Ubuntu's go cgo installation, was that what you intended? On Ubuntu the name of the go distribution is golang-go

Thanks for the quick response. My intention was to install the 'go' command. Looks like gccgo-go was installed by default to resolve this dependency. I've removed gccgo-go and installed golang-go instead as you suggested and the segfault went away.

Sorry about that, I know it's not ideal.

So there's not a bug? Already fixed in gccgo?

[andreydroid]

The problem is still there in Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. But I was convinced that it's an issue with apt-get's recommendation for golang (gccgo-go package picked instead of golang-go) rather than a bug with Go itself.

The segfault occurs only with gccgo-go

[davecheney]

If you do

[sudo] apt-get install golang-go

That will solve the problem. However, unless you have the trusty-backports
repo enabled, you'll get Go 1.2.1. Can I suggest that you use the tarball
from the golang.org website instead, it is well tested and known to work.
