Go 1.7 is not supported. You need to install Go from golang.org, not from yum or apt.

ok, thx for help

In Debian-based distro you can try to find compatible official debian package with older version of library.
For example for me with Debian 9 and go 1.7.4 worked:
sudo apt-get install golang-github-go-sql-driver-mysql-dev and then add /usr/share/gocode to your GOPATH
