What is your $GOOS?  $GOARCH?
$GOOS -> linux
$GOARCH -> amd64

Any help/feedback would be very appreciated.
Thanks.

Comment 1:

It sounds like you are compiling for amd64 but
your system can only run 32-bit binaries. 
Try setting 
export GOARCH=386
instead of 
export GOARCH=amd64

Comment 3 by akunokuroneko:

This would be expected behaviour as Snow Leopard is not linux.
Set GOOS to darwin if you want to be able to run your go binaries locally.

Comment 4 by hsandhar:

Oh boy...my ignorance/lack of attention at its best!!! 386 and Darwin did the trick.
No more midnight installs.
Thanks a lot for the help everyone.
