### A Note on Compiling Go 1.5
Go 1.5+ removed the C compilers from the toolchain and [replaced][compiler_note] them with one written in Go. Obviously, this creates a bootstrapping problem if you don't already have a working Go install. In order to compile Go 1.5+, make sure Go 1.4 is installed first.
```
gvm install go1.4
gvm use go1.4
gvm install go1.5
```
