Is there a way to understand where the mandatory go install -buildmode=shared std is installing its stuff? Is there a way to check that the above command has been previously and successfully run? Is there a way to avoid the cryptic message: multiple roots /home/basile/go/pkg/linux_amd64 & /usr/lib/go-1.8/pkg/linux_amd64_dynlink perhaps by forcing in which directory a file should be installed? (If there is some way to avoid that multiple roots message, I would suggest that the error message would mention it; giving only the two words multiple roots as an explanation is really not enough) Cheers.
