Hello @saipothanjanjanam ,

If you have cloned the current master branch of the repo and are building it, your issue could be occurring because the debian package of LibSerial is out of step with the Github repo.

First, could you use apt to remove LibSerial,

sudo apt remove libserial-dev

Next, (in your libserial directory), use the make instructions to install the library built from your local repo clone, (the make instructions in the README, rather than the compile script which uses CMake):

make -f Makefile.dist
./configure --prefix=/usr/include/
make
sudo make install

Last, recompile your program and let us know if the issue persists. If the issue does remain, let us know and I'll dig into it further with you!

Dear Mark,

Thank you very much. I have used locate and forcedly delete all the libserial files. Then, installed like sudo apt-get install libserial-dev. It is working now.

Best Regards, Sai pothan
