Dear tstromberg,
I tried with your notes and was unable to get a namebench binary in my directory :-

~/games/namebench$ export GOPATH=pwd
~/games/namebench$ git clone https://github.com/google/namebench.git src/github.com/google/namebench

2014/06/19 02:51:05 error running /Applications/node-webkit.app/Contents/MacOS/node-webkit ./ui/app.nw: exec: "/Applications/node-webkit.app/Contents/MacOS/node-webkit": stat /Applications/node-webkit.app/Contents/MacOS/node-webkit: no such file or directory

As can be seen the webserver is up but no UI. I was able to browse via the browser. It just has the browser 'google chrome' and the states stuck as 'United States of America' there is no drop-down list or anything.

Install node-webkit, check where is the nw executable
modify namebench.go with the path of nw (nw_path variable)
al modify the nw_package (./ui/nodejs-webkit/app.new)

or just use the url provided inside a browser it's the same.

I have the same problem,
Using the provided url in chrome gives me the same unresponsive UI than OP :
"browser 'google chrome' and the states stuck as 'United States of America', there is no drop-down list or anything."

Same as above after following qgnox instructions. I fiddled and got the UI to appear. The drop down lists have only one item.
