In OSX it is very likely to have paths to dynamic libraries containing empty spaces.
IHMO, CGO should allow paths with spaces.

What does 'go version' print?
go version go1.2.1 darwin/amd64

Comment 3:

I don't understand why it is very likely. I am not sure I've ever seen a space in a path
to a dynamic library.
At the very least this bug needs an actual reproduction case. I don't know exactly what
part is even being talked about.

Labels changed: added release-none, removed release-go1.4.

Status changed to WaitingForReply.

Comment 4 by camilo.aguilar:

One example is: /Applications/VMware\ Fusion.app/Contents/Frameworks/libvix.dylib
I agree it may not be very likely but it is still possible. If it is a hardship, then it
is not worth fixing. One can always work around.

This is still an issue, at least on Windows: many libraries, such as libVLC, are within "C:\Program Files". Escaping is not possible, since the go tool escapes those backslashes again.

/edit: Setting LIBRARY_PATH, however, will work.
