It appears that gx install for ipfs fails on Windows when paths are somewhat deep.

gx install failed when ipfs's package.json was at C:\Projects\Go\src\github.com\ipfs, but succeeded when I moved it to C:\test:

You are using quite old version of gx, now by default it uses global installation path.
Try gx install --global or updating gx.

It appears that I did not have gx-go installed, and that was causing this issue for me.

Sorry for the noise. I wrongly assumed go-gx was only needed for publishing.

We should probably have a way to make gx install fail if the package considers the language subtool required
