After some hours with google go I recognize the emacs mode in the source directory of the current distribution.

It is easy to install the mode for ubuntu 9.10 (karmic). First install the emacs with

sudo apt-get install emacs23

After that copy the the two .el files from you google ~/go/misc/emacs directory to

/usr/share/emacs/23.1/lisp

Now create a .emacs file in you home directory and add the following to lines.

(add-to-list ‘load-path “/usr/share/emacs/23.1/lisp” t) (require ‘go-mode-load)

Now the google mode is activated after loading a .go file.
