When I try to install go tools I am getting permission denied for /usr/local/go/pkg/tool/linux_amd64/cover
. I can accept that since it is /usr/local/
directory and need root
access.
But my first doubt is why it is trying to install at this location when I set GOPATH
to some other location.
$ go version
go version go1.2.1 linux/amd64
$ export GOPATH='/home/vagrant/repos/atlantis-router/vendor'
$ go get code.google.com/p/go.tools/cmd/cover
go install code.google.com/p/go.tools/cmd/cover: open /usr/local/go/pkg/tool/linux_amd64/cover: permission denied
$ go env
GOARCH="amd64"
GOBIN=""
GOCHAR="6"
GOEXE=""
GOHOSTARCH="amd64"
GOHOSTOS="linux"
GOOS="linux"
GOPATH="/home/vagrant/repos/atlantis-router/vendor"
GORACE=""
GOROOT="/usr/local/go"
GOTOOLDIR="/usr/local/go/pkg/tool/linux_amd64"
TERM="dumb"
CC="gcc"
GOGCCFLAGS="-g -O2 -fPIC -m64 -pthread"
CXX="g++"

Could anybody guide me solving this issue? What could be the reason?
