Installing go1.10.1 (Fedora 27)

I had problem with current version of Go that available on Fedora 27 repository

$ dnf info golang

I unable to install any library with go get command

$ go version
go version go1.9.4 linux/amd64

$ go get github.com/andlabs/ui
go build github.com/andlabs/ui: invalid flag in #cgo LDFLAGS: /home/rnm/Workspaces/Golang/src/github.com/andlabs/ui/libui_linux_amd64.a

$ go get github.com/pebbe/tokenize
go build github.com/pebbe/tokenize: invalid flag in #cgo CFLAGS: -finput-charset=UTF-8

Instead of downgrade as per suggested here , I decide to remove Golang package from Fedora repository and install the newest binary by myself.

$ sudo dnf remove golang
$ wget https://dl.google.com/go/go1.10.1.linux-amd64.tar.gz
$ sudo tar -C /usr/local -xzf go1.10.1.linux-amd64.tar.gz 
$ echo 'export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin' >> $HOME/.bashrc
$ source ~/.bashrc

Boom! Now you can use it,meh… pretty simple.
