[zeromq-dev] compiling zeromq with uuid dependency

[Philip Kovacs]

The uuid library is part of the 'util-linux' package and the development 
headers are from 'uuid-dev'.  Check the outputs of: 

$ pkg-config --cflags uuid  

(should be an include path (-I) to the uuid.h header)

$ pkg-config --libs uuid

(should be something like '-luuid')

I typically see the uuid.h header in a uuid subdirectory, e.g.

/usr/include/uuid/uuid.h

and from what you report below, I think you're uuid installation 
may be inconsistent.
