Please post what you have of your .profile, it will help to figure out why.
Here is a sample from one of my boxes.
PATH=/usr/sbin:/usr/localcw/sbin:$PATH:/sbin:
export PATH
Sometimes applications will require to modify the path and have an entry like this.
PATH=$PATH:$USERHOME/bin
export USERHOME
USERHOME contains the user's home directory
So that executable files in the Admin's home directory under sub directory bin will be seen by root's PATH variable.

GO-PATH(7) Miscellaneous Information Manual GO-PATH(7)
NAME
go - tool for managing Go source code
DESCRIPTION
The Go path is used to resolve import statements. It is implemented by and documented in the go/build package.
The GOPATH environment variable lists places to look for Go code. On Unix, the value is a colon-separated string. On Windows, the value
is a semicolon-separated string. On Plan 9, the value is a list.
GOPATH must be set to build and install packages outside the standard Go tree.
Each directory listed in GOPATH must have a prescribed structure:
The src/ directory holds source code. The path below 'src' determines the import path or executable name.
The pkg/ directory holds installed package objects. As in the Go tree, each target operating system and architecture pair has its own sub-
directory of pkg (pkg/GOOS_GOARCH).
If DIR is a directory listed in the GOPATH, a package with source in DIR/src/foo/bar can be imported as "foo/bar" and has its compiled form
installed to "DIR/pkg/GOOS_GOARCH/foo/bar.a".
The bin/ directory holds compiled commands. Each command is named for its source directory, but only the final element, not the entire
path. That is, the command with source in DIR/src/foo/quux is installed into DIR/bin/quux, not DIR/bin/foo/quux. The foo/ is stripped so
that you can add DIR/bin to your PATH to get at the installed commands. If the GOBIN environment variable is set, commands are installed
to the directory it names instead of DIR/bin.
Here's an example directory layout:
GOPATH=/home/user/gocode
/home/user/gocode/
src/
foo/
bar/ (go code in package bar)
x.go
quux/ (go code in package main)
y.go
bin/
quux (installed command)
pkg/
linux_amd64/
foo/
bar.a (installed package object)
Go searches each directory listed in GOPATH to find source code, but new packages are always downloaded into the first directory in the
list.
