尝试安装Go-SQL-Driver时发生错误：未定义：syscall.Conn

Question

On Ubuntu 16.04 with go version 1.8, when executing the command

go get github.com/go-sql-driver/mysql

I got this error:

github.com/go-sql-driver/mysql/conncheck.go:29: undefined: syscall.Conn

How can I resolve this problem?

Answer 1

Go-MySQL-Driver only supports Go 1.9 or later. You are using Go 1.8, and the syscall.Conn interface was only introduced in Go 1.9.

You should upgrade to a later version of Go on your system, or use an alternative SQL driver that supports an earlier version of Go.
