On

g++ actualApp.cpp -lzmq 

I get

actualApp.cpp:6:19: error: zmq.hpp: No such file or directory
actualApp.cpp: In function ‘int main()’:

for

//
//  Hello World server in C++
//  Binds REP socket to tcp://*:5555
//  Expects "Hello" from client, replies with "World"
//
#include <zmq.hpp>
#include <string>
#include <iostream>
#include <unistd.h>

int main () {
    //  Prepare our context and socket
    zmq::context_t context (1);
    zmq::socket_t socket (context, ZMQ_REP);
    socket.bind ("tcp://*:5555");

    while (true) {
        zmq::message_t request;

        //  Wait for next request from client
        socket.recv (&request);
        std::cout << "Received Hello" << std::endl;

        //  Do some 'work'
        sleep (1);

        //  Send reply back to client
        zmq::message_t reply (5);
        memcpy ((void *) reply.data (), "World", 5);
        socket.send (reply);
    }
    return 0;
}

I have installed zeromq on Mac OS X like this - ./configure, make, make install.

I can compile the C examples without errors using the -lzmq flag.

How should I use this C++ .hpp header from https://github.com/zeromq/cppzmq?

I moved the file zmq.hpp to /usr/local/include where zmq.h was also there
