zeromq.node installation error Ubuntu 12.04: ' node-gyp rebuild'

Question

I'm trying to install zeromq.node using:

$ npm install zmq

However, I keep getting the error below. Any help would be much appreciated.

Answer 1

gyp bulid error removed libzmq dev and its dependencies and tried below steps..it worked for me

 $ sudo apt-get update
 $ sudo apt-get install build-essential
 $ sudo apt-get install libzmq-dev
 $ npm install zmq

Answer 2

I managed to solve this by following this tutorial for installing the python-client. After completing each of the steps I found I was then able to install the node.zeromq module through npm using:

$ npm install zmq

I'm guessing this is due to missing some of the required files. Most likely libzmq-dev.
