Ubuntu 17.04 installation failure

[StrangeTcy]

I'm on Ubuntu 17.04 x64, and when I try to sudo luarocks install nn, I get the following error:

Installing https://luarocks.org/nn-1.0.4-1.src.rock
gcc -O2 -fPIC -I/usr/include/lua5.1 -c lnn.c -o lnn.o
lnn.c:4:23: fatal error: nanomsg/nn.h: No such file or directory
 #include<nanomsg/nn.h>
                       ^
compilation terminated.

Error: Build error: Failed compiling object lnn.o

I guess that gcc is looking for a file it doesn't have and somehow luarocks fails to copy it to a place where gcc could find it.
What should I do? Am I missing something obvious?

nanomsg/nn.h is part of nanomsg which you don't seem to have installed, you probably want libnanomsg-dev.

Hi, I was getting exact issue while executing luarocks install nn from here

Now, I gone through coderPuppy solution but did not found libnanomsg-dev package.
And hence I tried another way and install nanomsg using following steps

wget https://github.com/nanomsg/nanomsg/archive/1.0.0.tar.gz -O nanomsg-1.0.0.tar.gz
tar -xzvf nanomsg-1.0.0.tar.gz
cd nanomsg-1.0.0
mkdir build
cd build
# I added -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr because on my Ubuntu 14.04 machine, the
# library is installed in /usr/local/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ by default, and for
# some reason ldconfig cannot find it
cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr
cmake --build .
sudo cmake --build . --target install

Finally I got problem resolved...

just 'luarocks install nn' is ok, do not use sudo
