I have had the same problem. What I found http://stackoverflow.com/questions/21365714/nodejs-error-installing-with-npm
It says you may not need VS, but need Python.
I don't want any of those for my app.

If you want zeromq yet don't want to have to bother with building with node-gyp, use zeromq.

@Alex2357

I wanted just a single nodejs package which can do a job. Your prebuilt package still has too many dependencies

Same error here on CentOS 6:

I also tried using zmq-prebuilt which resulted in errors:

It would appear that ZMQ does not work with newer versions of NodeJS, or that it does not work well on Linux-based machines, due to the many dependencies required.

Is there a specific version of NodeJS that is recommended?

We ended up deprecating / changing the name of zmq-prebuilt to zeromq. We're on release 4.1.0 so I'd try again - it looks like you've installed 2.1.0 of zmq-prebuilt.

@rgbkrk I had tried both commands, and both failed with the same error message. The module was not installed.

using the command npm install --save zeromq on my CentOS 6 system:

It looks like the prebuilds didn't install for you and it's going back to a source based installation. Sadly the traceback doesn't say much about what the missing pieces might be. We have a guide for building from source which would be good to cross reference to see if you have all the dependencies.

To get a better, non-hidden traceback you can run these directly

npm run build:libzmq
$(npm bin)/node-gyp rebuild

@rgbkrk @lgeiger

I have found the problem! It's not mentioned in the installation documentation, which may need to be updated to help future users.

The problem was that the zeromq installation requires a c++11 compiler. If you are using a compiler below version 4.8.x, then the install will fail. Since CentOS comes by default with version 4.4, if it is not upgraded, the zeromq install fails.

The error results from an error involving an unexpected '<' somewhere in the build. However, with a c++11 compiler, it builds successfully. Instructions on upgrading your gcc version can be found here:

https://edwards.sdsu.edu/research/c11-on-centos-6/

Once I did this, the setup ran perfectly using the command npm install --save zeromq

I'm glad you got it working!
@parasin A PR adding a note to the installation instructions on zeromq would be super helpful :)

@parasin that worked perfectly as well. finally after a year or something of dealing with this problem heh... not the most ideal fix but at least there is a fix.
