Recently, I ran into a few problems while spinning up a local development environment. Hopefully this will help out people in the future.
The first issue that I ran into was with ZeroMQ. The CentOS image that I had didn’t have a gcc compiler so I ended up finding a github issue for the project that outlines how to manually make the installation. For the record, the warning that I ran into looked something like this
warning: no previously-included files matching 'Makefile.in' found anywhere in distribution
Did not find libzmq via pkg-config.
{'libraries': ['zmq'], 'extra_link_args': [], 'runtime_library_dirs': [], 'library_dirs': [], 'include_dirs': []}

************************************************
Warning: Couldn't find an acceptable libzmq on the system.
If you expected pyzmq to link against an installed libzmq, please check to make sure:
* You have a C compiler installed
* A development version of Python is installed (including headers)
* A development version of ZMQ >= 3.2 is installed (including headers)
* If ZMQ is not in a default location, supply the argument --zmq=<path>
* If you did recently install ZMQ to a default location,
try rebuilding the ld cache with `sudo ldconfig`
or specify zmq's location with `--zmq=/usr/local`
You can skip all this detection/waiting nonsense if you know
you want pyzmq to bundle libzmq as an extension by passing:
`--zmq=bundled`
I will now try to build libzmq as a Python extension
unless you interrupt me (^C) in the next 10 seconds...

An internal error occurred due to a bug in either zc.buildout or in a
recipe being used:

Here is the issue that solved the problem. If the link dies, here are the instructions that it gives:
# I didn't have to do this step
rpm -Uvh http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/7/x86_64/e/epel-release-7-5.noarch.rpm
# not sure if you need all of this
yum install -y git svn cpp make autoconf automake patch cmake wget mlocate rpm-build gcc-c++ uuid-devel pkgconfig libtool python-devel openpgm
# install zeromq. Make sure you aren't in your rockstor directory
wget http://download.zeromq.org/zeromq-4.0.5.tar.gz
tar xzvf zeromq-4.0.5.tar.gz
cd zeromq-4.0.5
./configure
make
make install
# install python pip
yum -y install python-pip
# install pyzmq
pip install pyzmq
Next, I ran into problems with the installation of psycopg2. The errors looked like this:
./psycopg/psycopg.h:31:22: fatal error: libpq-fe.h: No such file or directory
I solved this by installing the development package for Postgresql with this command
yum install postgresql-devel
After that I was good to go
