Unable to (Fresh) install Go 1.4 to install Go 1.6 via GVM on OSX

[bmurtagh]

Hello,

I'm starting my journey to learn Go, but having trouble installing Go 1.4 via GVM. This is on OSX Mavericks and I've never installed Go or GVM on the machine before.

I've installed Mercurial, bzr via homebrew and installed Xcode Command Line Tools via xcode-select --install.

Here is the error from /Users/brendan/.gvm/logs/go-go1.4-compile.log:

# Building C bootstrap tool.

Here are my steps:

[brendan@dirka ~]$ gvm version
Go Version Manager v1.0.22 installed at /Users/brendan/.gvm

[brendan@dirka ~]$ gvm list

gvm gos (installed)

[brendan@dirka ~]$ gvm install go1.4
