can't "sudo npm install serialport" on ARMv7 Raspberry pi - node.js

Question

Node version v4.0.0
npm verison v2.14.2
i've tried to installing node-pre-gyp & node-gyp, which seem to install fine. i've also tried to install a specific serialport v1.7.4 version. I've also tryed adding the unsafe--perm. All don't work when installing serialport
when running
sudo npm install serialport --unsafe-perm
i get the following error. I think it might be because my c++ compiler is outdated and node is trying to install non compatible node-pre-gyp. I'm both not sure what problem it is and how to solve it.
