Install ZeroMQ on ubuntu with Java Binding -

First install all required tools to build zeromq library

    sudo apt-get install libtool autoconf automake uuid-dev build-essential pkg-config

Once you have required tools install download zeromq source code and make a build

     #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-3.2.4.tar.gz)   
     $ zeromq-3.2.4.tar.gz  
     $ tar -zxvf zeromq-3.2.4.tar.gz  
     $ cd zeromq-3.2.4  
     $ ./configure  
     $ make  
     $ sudo make install  
     $ cd ../

This will install zeromq libraries at location /usr/local/lib you may like to set this path with LD_LIBRARY_PATH so that the libraries will be used at the time of execution. If you are setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH from .profile, or /etc/environment then you will it is not getting set refer GenerateJava binding refer official documentation for more details.

     $ git clone https://github.com/zeromq/jzmq.git  
     $ cd jzmq  
     $ ./autogen.sh  
     $ ./configure  
     $ make  
     $ sudo make install

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

Updated Note :

With latest version, you may get following error

    checking for sodium... no
    configure: error: Package requirements (libsodium) were not met:
    No package 'libsodium' found

You may not require this package, so install it with it to do that run configuration with following option

    ./configure --without-libsodium
