You can now start Ethereal by issuing:

  cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/ethereal && ethereal

If you rather run without a GUI you can start ethereum by issuing the 'ethereum'
command. More informations on:

Changes from https://gist.github.com/mquandalle/ab0d31735e57010ce206

• User bash instead of sh
• Silence dpkg -s errors
• Export (GO)PATH to .bashrc since .profile only loads on login shells, which you don't use 99% of the time

The problem with .bashrc is that the file is not loaded for zsh users (me). Maybe there is a better location? Do you know what debian packages that need an env variable use?

While installing I got the following error.

Now installing the ethereum client
# github.com/obscuren/serpent-go

These steps fixed it

cd ~/go/src/github.com/obscuren/serpent-go
git submodule init
git submodule update

cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/ethereum
go install -v
