bash: /home/chawat/.bashrc: line 171: `esacGOPATH=/home/chawat/Programming/GoWorkspace'

plz help me whats wrong?

Answer 1

It sounds like .bashrc was not terminated by a newline before you ran those commands. Look at the end of the file in a text editor and make sure that GOPATH=/home/chawat/Programming/GoWorkspace starts on a line of its own.
