        @chuck_b run sudo ./retropie_packages.sh scraper and post a log, or use retropie-setup and post the error log it mentioned when it fails (using a site like pastebin)

            @chuck_b It looks like something is missing in the golang installation you have. The logs cannot find the packages that are included in the golang installation that Retropie installs:

            
            src/github.com/sselph/scraper/ds/mame.go:4:2: cannot find package "archive/zip" in any of:
                    /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/tmp/build/scraper/src/github.com/sselph/scraper/vendor/archive/zip (vendor tree)
                    /opt/retropie/supplementary/golang/src/archive/zip (from $GOROOT)
                    /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/tmp/build/scraper/src/archive/zip (from $GOPATH)
            
            [.. a lot similar errors ]
            

            The default RetroPie golang install is in /opt/retropie/supplementary/golang, which contains these packages:

            ls  -l /opt/retropie/supplementary/golang/src/archive/zip/

              @chuck_b delete /opt/retropie/supplementary/golang/ and try again.

                        @chuck_b that's not a complete log - but I can't see any errors in the part you posted. The part I wanted to see is not included.

                          @buzz I've just checked and Scraper got installed successfully.

                          Deleting /opt/retropie/supplementary/golang/ and running sudo ./retropie_packages.sh scraper was the solution.

                          Thank you so much
