Tutorial On Go Compiler Has Some Issues

When following the tutorial on how to use the Go compiler I ran into some problems with the instructions. When I followed the instructions the program could not find the target file for compilation. I followed the instructions by copying the instructions straight off of the website. Listed below is the website address for the tutorial. Further below is the code I used to get the program to work properly. In a nutshell, the tutorial instructed the user to set up the configuration for GO to find the source file. Even though the configuration file was set up exactly like the tutorial instructed, the GO compiler did not find the source file. I had to remove the subdirectory tree and place the source file where the compiler was searching for the file.
