There are two things that I would try if I were you:
1) Download the 32 bit version of Go instead of the 64 bit one.

sudo apt-get install golangDon't forget to revert everything you have done so far before trying out each of these.
Hey BitCryptex, appreciate the response as always!
I'll try downloading the 32bit version when I get home, definitely good call on that. What do you mean by reverting everything though? How would I do that?
