Missing '-e' switch for 'echo'.
i.e. echo -e 'export GOPATH=$HOME\n' >> ~/.bash_profile
Also 'echo' prints a newline by default.

"In addition to lists and maps"
should be:
"in addition to slices and maps"
till that point in the book only slices were covered.

In the line:
ln, err := net.Listen("tcp", ":9999")
It seems to assume "localhost". When running that on my CentOS 6 machine the code would give:
dial tcp 127.0.0.1:9999: connect: connection refused
This happened about 90% of the time. The other 10% it seems to work, even without recompiling the code.
When I changed the line to specify the localhost IP it works every time:
ln, err := net.Listen("tcp", "127.0.0.1:9999")

second paragraph |
The instructions for running the sample program with simple math package do not work. The text says:
“Using a terminal, change directory into the math folder you just created and run go install. This will compile the math.go program and create a linkable object file: ~/pkg/os_arch/golang-book/chapter8/math.a (where os is something like windows and arch is something like amd64).
Now change back into the chapter8 folder and run go run main.go. You should see 2.5.”
(Note: I am running go version go1.14.2 darwin/amd64 on a MacBook Pro)
When I follow the instructions in the book, I get an error message:
main.go:5:2: cannot find package "IntroducingGo/chapter8/math" in any of:
/usr/local/go/src/IntroducingGo/chapter8/math (from $GOROOT)
/Users/xxx/go/src/IntroducingGo/chapter8/math (from $GOPATH)
I wonder if the changes in go package management within the last four years have cause this to break.
