Install fails silently on Raspberry Pi 4

[fungl164]

When running $ goenv install 1.15.6 on an RPi4 (arm64) the program fails silently without installing anything. Any clues? Thank you...

FYI running $ make on ~/.goenv yields the the following:

Found a temporary solution:

$ export GOPKG=go1.15.6.linux-arm64.tar.gz
$ wget https://golang.org/dl/$GOPKG 
$ tar -C ~/.goenv/versions/1.15.6 -xvf $GOPKG 
$ goenv global 1.15.6 && goenv rehash
$ rm $GOPKG

Same issue here; tried reinstalling, using Brew (vs cloning manually), checked and played around with my ~/.zshrc a lot, too. It's quite the pickle.

Thanks for the temporary fix @fungl164.

The same issue is happening with me in Macbook Air M1. A workaround for this would be to run it like this:

arch -arch x86_64 goenv install 1.15.7

This way you do not need to open your terminal in rosetta mode. You can also alias some of these commands that are still having issues in Apple Sillicon.

alias goenv="arch -arch x86_64 goenv"

Or maybe even create some shallow wrapper functions:

function _goenv() {
  arch -arch x86_64 goenv $*
}

This way you can run them like this until we have a solution.

_goenv version

I agree that the UX of goenv install silently failing is not great, but for M1 (Apple Silicon) darwin/arm64 support was not officially introduced until Go 1.17, so it makes sense that the installation of any version below 1.17 would fail on that platform.

would it be useful to allow "build from source" for older versions?
