Here is the failure I get:

Hi @bigtoerag, it looks like you are using gccgo (Ubuntu package gccgo). Can you install the golang package instead and use the Go compiler provided by that? libbeat requires Go 1.5+ and I don't think gccgo supports it. You'll need to run go clean before go build after installing the different Go compiler.

You can close now as it must have been environmental for me. I had a colleague try and now have a binary running. Thanks for the help and keep it up. Now onto converting an init script to run it.
