go tool: no such tool “compile”

I got go tool: no such tool "compile" error after installing a local build of go.

The golang source was in /usr/local

$ cd /usr/local
$ ls  
total 41240
drwxr-xr-x@  19 root             wheel   608B Oct 18 19:35 go
drwxr-xr-x   16 root             wheel   512B Oct 18 19:35 .
-rw-r--r--@   1 root             wheel    20M Oct 18 19:35 go1.11.13.src.tar.gz

Next was go installation as follows:

cd src; ./all.bash

The final build output was

Installed Go for darwin/amd64 in /usr/local/go
Installed commands in /usr/local/go/bin

Now the PATH & GOROOT must have the following values:

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

The correct GOPATH value fixed the problem.

WHAT DIDN’T WORK

• Setting GOTOOLDIR
• Reinstalling GO
