I was testing with AWS EC2 instance (t2.medium) and occured same error message with this PPA.

Environment:

ubuntu@ip-10-140-0-78:~$ uname -a

drwxr-xr-x 5 ubuntu ubuntu 4096 Feb 25 16:09 ..

Then go get -v first and then make parser:

ubuntu@ip-10-140-0-78:~$ git clone https://github.com/pingcap/tidb.git
[...]
ubuntu@ip-10-140-0-78:~$ cd tidb
ubuntu@ip-10-140-0-78:~/tidb$ go get -v
[...]
ubuntu@ip-10-140-0-78:~/tidb$ make parser
[...]

Finally, run make:

ubuntu@ip-10-140-0-78:~/tidb$ make

Someone in Twitter just noticed me that I should use go get -v github.com/pingcap/tidb and then change directory to $GOPATH/src/github.com/pingcap/tidb to compile. And it works...

[c4pt0r]

It's because $HOME/tidb is not in $GOPATH. When you run 'make parser', the parser would be generated in current directory which in your case is $HOME/tidb, but this directory is not $GOPATH, and go compiler couldn't find this file.

Same qusetion
