gvm `The program 'go' is currently not installed`

Question

I just installed gvm with go1.3, but when I try to go version I have The program 'go' is currently not installed message. How to fix this?

Answer 1

gvm go1.3 --default fixed this

Answer 2

Check your $PATH environment variable once you have used gvm (gvm install or gvm use).
It should include the bin/ folder of your go installation folder.
For instance: /usr/lib/go/bin

Issue 187 reports:

Currently GVM assumes it is in sole charge of the *_HOME and PATH environment variables and puts it's paths first.
Since the default is to execute the GVM initialization last this overwrites any settings the user may have set up, in my case GROOVY_HOME and PATH are set as I need them then GVM overwrites the settings.

Thus currently GVM does not "play nice" with a sophisticated users' set up.
