Has your user the rights to use the serial port on the laptop? Try sudo chmod 666 /dev/ttyS0 (or whatever your serial port is)

Hi ! I just see the email this weekend,i so sorry for reply too late.If you want to use this package,you just need to sudo apt-get install ros-indigo-serial .Then you can use serial like in python or c++,just like #include .
