Hi! Unfortunately this is an old project and I didn't had the time to upgrade it to support go modules. Using go version go1.19.5 I was able to run go install github.com/vlad-s/hcpxread@latest without any issues.

Would you be able to try running go get -u golang.org/x/sys/... and see if that fixes the problem? It seems like the golang.org/x/sys/unix package doesn't have the unsafe.Slice that it expects.

unsafe.Slice was added as part of Go 1.17

If not, you could try downloading a more recent version of go from their website and not through the package manager.

Sorry for replying so late, and thanks for opening this issue!
