I use Ron Minnich's distribution from http://code.google.com/r/rminnich-9go/ It compiles fine on native plan9-386. I had to do some minor changes, however. Get this tarball, unpack and cpdir -m to $GOROOT It is somewhat outdated compared to Lucio's version (this is 60.2) Just do: ## Go language install cd hg clone https://code.google.com/p/rminnich-9go go bind -ac . / cd /go rc /go/src/9setup cd 9/prebuilt rc install cd /go/src mk install ### Hope this helps. ++pac
