[s0nerik]

Probably the main problem is that you've cloned a project into an arbitrary folder, and not to GOPATH. To make sure that the project is cloned into the right directory, instead of cloning by hand you should run go get github.com/s0nerik/goloc. This will automatically put the project's folder into the folder inside GOPATH. On macOS (if you didn't change GOPATH by hand) the path to the project will be /Users/<username>/go/src/github.com/s0nerik/goloc. Please, let me know if the problem won't go away after using go get instead of cloning the repo by hand.

@s0nerik
go get works fine
PRs for documentation: #6, #7

[s0nerik]

Glad go get worked. Thank you for the contributions!
