Unfriendly error when gin could not find go tool

[pavel-odintsov]

Hello!

I spent some time to understand what's going on when tried to run gin from root user.

I got following error:

[gin] Listening on port 10007
[gin] Building...
panic: runtime error: invalid memory address or nil pointer dereference

Line 62 from gin's code:

if command.ProcessState.Success() {

I spent about 1 hour to find that I do not have "go" in PATH for the root user and then fixed the issue!

Could you add this check?
