Answer 1

Storm recommends to use exactly 2.1.7 version of zeroMQ.

https://github.com/xumingming/storm-wiki/blob/master/Installing-native-dependencies.md

Other version are known to cause issues as there are some serious bugs. Which version of zeroMQ are you using?

Answer 2

Seems the OP is long gone but I'm leaving this answer in case anyone else has this problem (this page had a high page rank when I googled for the same solution)

There's an issue with some versions of ZMQ (specifically the java wrapper) that throws UnsatisfiedLinkError when you try to close a socket, like storm is doing in this case.

More info here:

https://github.com/zeromq/jzmq/issues/237

The obvious solution would be to upgrade your jzmq version (or in this case, storm version).

Cheers.
