PHP-ZMQ pecl installation error - Unable to find libzmq installation

I've run below shell command as per ZeroMQ website to install PHP-ZMQ:

sudo pear channel-discover pear.zero.mq
sudo pecl install pear.zero.mq/zmq-beta

Below are traces for the installation:

I already have libzmq installed via Yum in my CentOS 5 server.

I can also confirm by running below

yum install zeromq

and traces below:

Loaded plugins: fastestmirror

 * base: mirror.site.net.au

Setting up Install Process
Package zeromq-3.2.2-13.1.x86_64 already installed and latest version
Package zeromq-3.2.2-13.1.i386 already installed and latest version
Nothing to do

So I have libzmq installed so I don't see why PHP-ZMQ is throwing error at the installation.

What would be the cause for this?

Solution 1:

You need the development files. I'd wager they're called zeromq-devel or something of that sort on RPM based distributions.

Solution 2:

Installing CZMQ via brew solved this for me.

Solution 3:

For any future guy with this trouble - I did try this as instructed from this ZeroMQ - sudo pecl install zmq-beta in my Mac. Then I did try as instructed by @Tinus Guichelaar - brew install czmq. It worked after lots of failed solutions!
