Willy, thanks very much, compilation was successful!

I am not proud of it, yet I did not read the su-manpage close enough.

Here is what I missed and did wrong.

Here is my error. On my system, the pathes of plain "su" and "su -" or "su --login"
differ in several ways.  After "su" some pathes under "/usr/lib64" are missing.
I did not realize this.

Then again, the output of "sudo echo $PATH" , on the other hand,
*has* "/usr/lib64/go1.24.2/go/" in it's path. 

So perhaps I*d still be better off using sudo?
Of course not, I'll take su --login.

Great many thanks and excuses for my lack auf attention to the details -

Erich
