go version command shows old version number after update to 1.8 : <p>Pretty much the title. I downloaded/installed Go 1.8 for OS X, but when I go</p>

<pre><code>$ go version
go version go1.7.5 darwin/amd64
</code></pre>

<p>My .bashrc look like the following</p>

<pre><code># some exports omitted

NPM_PACKAGES=/Users/&lt;me&gt;/.npm-packages
NODE_PATH="$NPM_PACKAGES/lib/node_modules:$NODE_PATH"

export PATH=~/Library/Python/3.4/bin:$PATH

export GOPATH=$HOME/Go
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin
</code></pre>

<p>My workspace is in a directory called "Go" in my home folder. </p>

<p>What I have checked so far:</p>

<ul>
<li><p>I've checked the files in /usr/local/go/bin, and the VERSION file states "1.8", so I know the installation was successful.</p></li>
<li><p>I have also renewed my terminal session, I even rebooted my pc to make sure no other processes were interfering with it.</p></li>
<li><p>I use Webstorm as my IDE, and it correctly recognized 1.8 as the working version</p></li>
<li><p>It's not a bug in the version number itself, as I can't use the "NextResultSet()" sql functionality, introduced in version 1.8</p></li>
</ul>

<p>I believe the culprit might be a wrong configuration in the .bashrc file above, as only the terminal is stuck on the old version, but I can't figure out what is wrong with it.</p>
