[FIXED] How to make "godoc" command work on my system?

Issue

"godoc" doesnt' work on my system.(I'm using ubuntu 13.04)

godoc fmt

gives the following error

2013/06/08 19:12:43 readTemplate: open /usr/lib/go/lib/godoc/codewalk.html: no such file or directory

"which go" gives:

/usr/bin/go

"go env" gives the following:

GOROOT="/usr/lib/go"
GOBIN=""
GOARCH="386"
GOCHAR="8"
GOOS="linux"
GOEXE=""
GOHOSTARCH="386"
GOHOSTOS="linux"
GOTOOLDIR="/usr/lib/go/pkg/tool/linux_386"
GOGCCFLAGS="-g -O2 -fPIC -m32 -pthread"
CGO_ENABLED="1"

What should I do to make it work?

Solution

The following worked for me on Ubuntu 13.10:

sudo apt-get install golang-doc
godoc -http=:6060

Navigate to http://localhost:6060

EDIT: The version shipped with the distribution is likely to be out of date. I'm not an active Go user at the moment but this answer looks the most complete: https://stackoverflow.com/a/61300854/15985
