go install: no install location for directory

I think I know what's going on. The GOPATH changes when I installed gvm:

> alex@alex-K43U:~/go/src/m2k$ go install go install: no install
> location for directory /home/alex/go/src/m2k outside GOPATH
>
> alex@alex-K43U:~/go/src/m2k$ go env 
> GOPATH="/home/alex/.gvm/pkgsets/go1.4/global"
> GOROOT="/home/alex/.gvm/gos/go1.4"

What should I do know? I'm afraid that bringing the GOPATH to my workplace will mess up gvm. On the other hand, go install isn't working anymore.

You need to create a package set, which is for all intents an encapsulated $GOPATH environment instance.

In short, use whatever name you like; "test_pkgset" is just an example name:

gvm pkgset create test_pkgset
gvm pkgenv test_pkgset // Launches whatever $EDITOR defaults to

Change the end of export GOPATH; GOPATH=... and export PATH; PATH=... lines to include $HOME/go:

export GOPATH; GOPATH="/home/alex/.gvm/pkgsets/go1.4/test_pkgset:$HOME/go:$GOPATH"
export PATH; PATH="/home/alex/.gvm/pkgsets/go1.4/test_pkgset/bin:${GVM_OVERLAY_PREFIX}/bin:$HOME/go/bin:${PATH}"

Finally, use it:

gvm pkgset use test_pkgset
