Did you install the Windows or Linux go binary distribution? Sounds like you might have installed the Window distribution and running it in bash?
I installed the Linux go distribution and it worked just fine. I think I created a symlink from /usr/local/go/bin/go to /usr/local/bin/go, or you can alter your $PATH to include /usr/local/go/bin so you get access to go, good, and gofmt.
