Before filing a bug, please check whether it has been fixed since the
latest release. Search the issue tracker and check that you're running the
latest version of Go:

Run "go version" and compare against
http://golang.org/doc/devel/release.html  If a newer version of Go exists,
install it and retry what you did to reproduce the problem.

Thanks.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
If possible, include a link to a program on play.golang.org.
1. Download go1.1.2.darwin-amd64.pkg
2. Run installer
3. Installer fails with no explanation; some go files appear to be installed.

What is the expected output?
Successful installation.

What do you see instead?
Failed installation. Seriously. If you're going to fail, say why, or at least point to a
log file.

Which compiler are you using (5g, 6g, 8g, gccgo)?
I don't know how to determine this.

Which operating system are you using?
 Mac OSX 10.8.4

Which version are you using?  (run 'go version')
1.1.2

Please provide any additional information below.

I forgot to mention that this failed exactly the same way on two separate
machines. Is there an error log somewhere?

Using: go1.1.2 Mac OS X (x86 64-bit) PKG installer 
Failed for me on OS X 10.8.4 (12E55). Early 2011.  2.3 GHz Intel Core i5.  Same as
described. 
Darwin Kernel Version 12.4.0: Wed May  1 17:57:12 PDT 2013;
root:xnu-2050.24.15~1/RELEASE_X86_64 x86_64
Despite that, I tested the installation (as indicated: http://golang.org/doc/install)
and the installation test worked. I guess it may be a faulty message only.

I suspect it's just a bad message as well. The installed "go" dir looks
identical to the one you get when uncompressing the tarball, and it seems
to run fine. Still, I'm going with the tarball until this is fixed.
