Google cloud BigQuery undefined ValueList - go

Question

I'm working with the BigQuery API on Google Cloud Platform and I've completed the Golang client library installation.
When I try to compile, I see the following errors:
[root#server ~]$ go install github.com/user/program
# github.com/user/program/handler
go/src/github.com/user/program/handler/file1.go:228: undefined:
"cloud.google.com/go/bigquery".ValueList
go/src/github.com/user/program/handler/file1.go:259: undefined:
"cloud.google.com/go/bigquery".ValueList
The offending line for 228 is:
227 for {
228 var values bigquery.ValueList
229 err := it.Next(&values)
At the top of the file I import the package, as normally
import "cloud.google.com/go/bigquery"
and have taken care to install the client library for Golang
https://cloud.google.com/bigquery/docs/reference/libraries#client-libraries-install-go
I can see that the cloud.google.com package is contained within my GOPATH and I see the ValueList type decleration inside of a file in there. It is therefore puzzling that I'm getting this error.
What's more: I can compile this fine on my Windows machine with no errors. It's only when I try to do the same thing on my CentOS VM that I run into this. Both are running go version go1.6.3.
Thank you.

#Spikey,
Hi, please make sure you've installed correct client.
Here's why:
After installing go get -u cloud.google.com/go/bigquery I see that they do not have an exported ValueList type(!). Only valuelist, i.e. unexported. Check line 39 of ~go/src/google.golang.org/cloud/bigquery/value.go
However, they do mention ValueList as an exported type in their docs(!), for example:
line 52 of ~go/src/google.golang.org/cloud/bigquery/doc.go
https://godoc.org/cloud.google.com/go/bigquery
line 164 of ~/go/src/google.golang.org/cloud/README.md
Also, ValueList is an exported type if looking directly at: https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/google-cloud-go/blob/master/bigquery/value.go
So there's a confusion about installing a correct Google client.
Hope this helps!
