Zeromq setup on MAC OSX 10.9.3 (mavericks) with Java binding -

Steps: With reference to following blogs written by Vivek blog to install zeromq and by Jean blog to install auto tools. I faced few issues ( one of them is following error ./configure: line 15284: 'PKG_CHECK_MODULES') which I tried to address with following steps:

Install gcc ( to install gcc you need to install xcode 5 download it from `https://developer.apple.com/xcode/ and install.)
Make sure you have java installed. If you want to install JDK 7 refer this http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/webnotes/install/mac/mac-jdk.html
Make sure you have git installed to checkout zeromq java binding source code.
Make sure libtool, autoconf, automake are installed. refer. I preferred installing binaries in system directory directly. If you have already installed it then you can skip this step.

    # create a temporary folder to checkout / download source code and build the same  
    $ mkdir build  
    $ cd build  
    $ curl -OL http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/autoconf/autoconf-2.69.tar.gz  
    $ tar -xzf autoconf-2.69.tar.gz  
    $ cd autoconf-2.69  
    $ ./configure  
    $ make  
    $ sudo make install  
    $ cd ../  
    $ curl -OL http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/automake/automake-1.14.tar.gz  
    $ tar -xzf automake-1.14.tar.gz  
    $ cd automake-1.14  
    $ ./configure  
    $ make  
    $ sudo make install  
    $ cd ../  
    $ curl -OL http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/libtool/libtool-2.4.2.tar.gz  
    $ tar xzf libtool-2.4.2.tar.gz  
    $ cd libtool-2.4.2  
    $ ./configure  
    $ make  
    $ sudo make install  
    $ cd ../

Install core ZeroMQ library.

    #Download latest zermoq source code http://zeromq.org/area:download   
    #I tried it with zeromq-3.2.4.tar.gz (http://download.zeromq.org/zeromq-4.0.4.tar.gz)   
    $ curl -OL http://download.zeromq.org/zeromq-4.0.4.tar.gz  
    $ tar -zxvf zeromq-4.0.4.tar.gz  
    $ cd zeromq-4.0.4  
    $ ./configure  
    $ make  
    $ sudo make install  
    $ cd ../

Install pkg-config. If you already have it installed then you can skip this step.

    $ curl -OL http://pkgconfig.freedesktop.org/releases/pkg-config-0.28.tar.gz  
    $ tar -zxvf pkg-config-0.28.tar.gz  
    $ cd pkg-config-0.28   
    $ ./configure --with-internal-glib 
    $ make  
    $ sudo make install  
    $ cd ../

Install/generate ZeroMQ JAVA binding for more details refer

    $ git clone https://github.com/zeromq/jzmq.git  
    $ cd jzmq  
    # if you already have JAVA_HOME set you can skip this  
    $ export JAVA_HOME=`/usr/libexec/java_home`  
    $ ./autogen.sh  
    $ ./configure  
    $ make  
    $ sudo make install

At the end you will find zmq.jar generated at location /usr/local/share/java/
