@nebrius Alex has followed your guide but is still hitting issues. Any ideas?

@alex-ac2 which version of Raspbian are you using? Also, can you list the output of gcc -v for us?

The command being used to install serialport here is sudo npm install serialport (note the sudo.) Understanding the implications of sudo here requires fairly deep knowledge of some aspects of how Linux works. For more information see here. Alternatively, install serialport with npm install serialport instead.

I've run into this issue as well. I'm able to get around it by just side loading the plugin. Assuming you've got an existing project, clone the serialport plugin somewhere else on your computer. Run sudo npm link in that plugin folder, then change to your project location and link it with sudo npm link serialport. I've also had to run sudo node-gyp configure build in the serialport location to get rid of some more errors in my project.

We don't have arm binaries, they need to be build on the local machine.
