Build failed on Ubuntu 16

[Panchatcharam]

I would like to build czmq on Ubuntu 16 to use that with libcurve. I followed the steps as indicated in the README.md and tried building the czmq but the czmq self-test fails with following message,

Running czmq selftests...

Please advise what I'm missing here and how to get rid of this issue.
I appreciate your help.

Thanks,

Just in case: can you retry the build-test a few times? To see if it is an intermittent error, or a reproducible one? There were a few race/contention issues fixed in tests recently - maybe that's another among them?

[Panchatcharam]

I did run it repeatedly for fairly about 10 times but that did not help. Could you tell whether you want me to check for any build dependency on my build machine?

Instead of building from scratch, use the pre-built binary packages from Ubuntu:

https://software.opensuse.org/download.html?project=network%3Amessaging%3Azeromq%3Agit-stable&package=libczmq-dev

[Panchatcharam]

I'm seeing my sample program built with the Master branch of czmq is working fine despite the make check failed for zatuh. I would like to stay with the latest version of czmq. What's the version of the pre-built library?

The previous link always has the latest commit, this one always has the latest release: https://software.opensuse.org/download.html?project=network%3Amessaging%3Azeromq%3Arelease-stable&package=libczmq-dev
