Requirements

zmq2 is just a wrapper for the ZeroMQ library. It doesn't include the library itself. So you need to have ZeroMQ installed, including its development files. On Linux and Darwin you can check this with ($ is the command prompt):

$ pkg-config --modversion libzmq
2.2.0

The Go compiler must be able to compile C code. You can check this with:

$ go env CGO_ENABLED
1

You can't do cross-compilation. That would disable C.

Install

go get github.com/pebbe/zmq2
