Hi Guys,

After a forced O/S reload (where has the internet gone during an OS update), I am having a problem installing `node-red-node-serialport 0.14.1`

Here is the console log:

```

I see it is what I think is a g++ error....

Fedora 34 with an ID.10T induced error on the keyboard...

Any help would be appreciated...

You probably actually want

`dnf group info "Development Tools"`

Which is the RedHat/Fedroa/Centos version of `apt-get install build-essentials`
