@lanking520 , @zachgk Can you guys have a look at this issue perhaps ?

[lanking520]

@aashudwivedi Nice try and thanks for working on this. I also find similar issue when trying Cent OS 7. The libzmq.a file is living in lib64 other than the lib under staticdeps. You should change the LD_LIBRARY_PATH to resolve the issue or copying the content from lib64 to lib.

Currently we are using Ubuntu 14.04 to run this script, you can do with Ubuntu 16.04 as well if you want.

cc: @szha as a known problem in Cent OS 7 build
