I looked at the
golang.org website, and it doesn't give a name
for it. To continue with the debug, I downloaded the package from
golang.org, and installed it in a local directory and then set the
path
variables to it. Now I am only getting one error message about not
having the
code.google.com packages. I cannot find those anywhere.
Based on the fact that I do now have the standard library in
the
golang.org version, it appears that the packager for fedora may
not
have included the standard library in the build by mistake.
I have googled
code.google.com, looked at the google website
and google code website, and cannot find that package path and
associated packages anywhere. Nor does it appear on the
golang.org
website. Nor does any historical website seem to even mention it.
The go package I am attempting to work on is called SLAM,
Simultaneous Location and Mapping for robotics application. It takes
basically point cloud type information and creates a map. In the
version I am working on, the point cloud comes from a LIDAR, and the
SLAM robot package captures that data and creates a 2D map from it.
Then entire package is several tens of megabytes, but appears
to be all there, except for these generic libraries that should be in
the GOROOT path.
It appears that the gentleman and team who wrote the original
code have moved on to other projects, and attempts by the other party
involved with the current effort to contact them have not been
successful. I haven't attempted that because these libraries are not
something they developed, but appear to be google libraries, and
generic libraries of the go language.
I have looked at the go forum but found no help there on this
issue. This started out as a "I'll take a look for you" and has
turned
into a quest!
So the current issue is where can I find the
code.google.com go
packages? Any idea?
Thanks,
Les H

The code I have
been working with was created by a university group.
It appears that they got the requisite library from Google before their
recent changes. The person I am working with found a reference to the
library and both of us retrieved it from the new location.
Thanks everyone for your suggestions and support.
