That's what I get for testing the build on OSX. I'll take a look asap.

Hopefully the following provides the information needed about the
environment:

root@node0:~# uname -a
Linux node0 3.13.0-36-generic #63-Ubuntu SMP Wed Sep 3 21:30:07 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

root@node0:~# go version
go version go1.2.1 linux/amd64

If anything else is needed, please let me know.

At this point in writing the issue, I am guessing that the problem may
exist from a dependency of pcstat (golang.org/x/sys/unix)? If that's the
case, well... just raising awareness of this for now.

I just built it again on a Linux machine and everything seems fine. In taking a closer look at the error you posted, it looks a little weird, "/usr/src/golang.org/x/sys/unix/syscall_solaris.go".

Can you try updating your sys/unix with "go get -u golang.org/x/sys/unix" and try building again with "go build -a"? Please also verify whether or not you have Go 1.4. If Go 1.3 is a problem, I'll tag the previous version for folks to use.

from pcstat.

Ah ok. Just noticed your Go version at 1.2.1. That's probably it. You can get 1.4 by using the following PPA: https://launchpad.net/~evarlast/+archive/ubuntu/golang1.4

I'll think a little about how to approach older Go environments. Since Go binaries are easy to copy around, my inclination is to only support >= 1.4, but I could be persuaded otherwise.

from pcstat.

That was it, thanks! Updating Go to 1.4 fixed my build problem.

I'm not tied down to any earlier version of Go, and wouldn't mind if the requirements were updated to support only >= 1.4.
