ZMQ.jl does not precompile on Ubuntu running CUDA drivers

[pszufe]

The default CUDA installation on AWS Ubuntu image utilizes the port 5555.
Unfortunately this seems that this port is needed during precompilation of ZMQ.jl

The workaround is sudo pkill -f nvidia and than trying to install ZMQ.jl (which is required by other very common Julia packages such as IJulia). This is however more than ugly workaround. Perhaps ZMQ could not try to start a server while precompiling or could be able to fallback to another port if 5555 is in use?

This was fast :D
