Solved it by looking a bit at zmq's wiki. Basically, to install zmq (and thus zerorpc) you need a prior installation of libzmq and libpgm sources. It goes like this for Ubuntu.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:chris-lea/zeromq
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:chris-lea/libpgm
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libzmq3-dev

Maybe it would be good to add this somewhere in the README (or I just missed it then sorry)?

Thanks for posting your solution! Had the same issue. Documentation should probably be updated to make this clear.

Running into an error here, has anyone seen this?

Installation of zeromq-devel should avoid the problem for CentOS 6.
