Go: “no such file or directory” but it exists

I installed the golang.

~/go/bin$ ls
go  godoc  gofmt

Trying to test, but to no avail.

~/go/bin$ go version
-bash: /home/orc/go/bin/go: no such file or directory

My $PATH:

/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games:/home/orc/go/bin:

Info:

~/go/bin$ uname -m
x86_64

~/go/bin$ file go
go: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), not stripped

~/go/bin$ pwd
/home/orc/go/bin

Please tell me what's wrong?

UPDATE

~/go/bin$ ls -l
итого 28688
-rwxr-xr-x 1 orc orc 9571864 Фев 18 14:40 go
-rwxr-xr-x 1 orc orc 16164032 Фев 18 14:41 godoc
-rwxr-xr-x 1 orc orc 3594712 Фев 18 14:40 gofmt

~/go/bin$ ./go
-bash: ./go: Нет такого файла или каталога

!!!

~/go/bin$ file $(which ls)
/bin/ls: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.18, stripped

~/go/bin$ uname -a

Please explain how to fix it?

Have you checked that you have the correct version for your architecture installed. I have just had this exact problem when I put a 32-bit binary on a 64-bit virtual machine. I removed the 32-bit version and installed the architecture appropriate version (based on the instructions on the website) and it worked. Hope that works for you too.

A couple of things to check, which may come to nothing, but they'll at least rule out things:

1. There's no indication in your question that your current directory is within /home/orc, a simple pwd should clarify that.

2. Can you run the file directly, such as with ./go or ~/go/bin/go?

3. Is it executable? The output of ls -l should clarify that.

4. Get the full machine details with uname -a.

5. Check the system executables in case it's somehow not 64-bit, despite the indication: file $(which ls).

6. Make sure there's no funny characters in the path that would prevent it being picked up there: echo $PATH | od -xcb.

7. Make sure your GOPATH is set up correctly (not sure this would affect go version but it's something extra to try).

In my case go compiler and language were not installed...

sudo apt install golang-go

For me this was the answer, this is on ubuntu18.04 windows subsystem linux 2 install:

export GOPATH=$HOME/go

export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin:$GOPATH/bin

I was facing the same issue in Docker, I'm writing an answer for anybody that may be using docker, In my case I had to install glibc, for context I'm using alpine3.17

And here's the portion of my dockerfile -

COPY --from=golang:1.19.5-alpine3.17 /usr/local/go/ /usr/local/go/

ENV GOPATH=/go
ENV PATH="${PATH}:/usr/local/go/bin:$GOPATH/bin"

RUN apk update && apk add --no-cache wget gcompat && apk -U upgrade

RUN wget -q -O /etc/apk/keys/sgerrand.rsa.pub https://alpine-pkgs.sgerrand.com/sgerrand.rsa.pub
RUN wget https://github.com/sgerrand/alpine-pkg-glibc/releases/download/2.35-r0/glibc-2.35-r0.apk
RUN apk add --force-overwrite glibc-2.35-r0.apk
