npm install zmq fails


I tried npm install zmq and I got:

Here's the pastebin of that npm-debug.log:

Does anybody have any idea of what's happening? Seems like error in the compilation or so. As you see, my nodejs is version 7.x, not an old one. And NPM is 4.x, should work, right?


Solution

  • Try to:

    sudo apt-get install build-essential checkinstall
    

    then, relaunch npm install.

    If it fails again, you can try to install node-gyp globally:

    npm install -g node-gyp
