Answer 1

First of all, the correct import is import "google/protobuf/empty.proto";
second, for generating a proto file run this code:
protoc --proto_path={proto_directory_address} --proto_path={proto_directory_name} --go-grpc_out={generated_directory_path} --go_out={generated_directory_path} {proto_directory_address}/{proto_file_name}.proto

hi there / i had the same issue for a long time .. this process worked for me i hope it dose for you too :
navigate to this directory using your cmd(command line) :
cd .local/include
this directory normally should contain some folder named "google" copy this folder and paste it to this directory :
/usr/local/include
and now try the protoc engine again to generate your project and if the error still exists then try the rest of process :
navigate to that specific directory and check if its been copied or not . if it is then try to navigate to the folder from where you are (which it should be /usr/local/include) if the error says you have no permission to get in the folder
use this command to get the permission
$ sudo chmod o+r -R ./google
and then try to get permission to get in protobuf folder in the same directory using above command again
when its all done . check the protoc generator again /// hope works for you because it dose for me
