The problem is more likely to be caused by the access permissions for
the serial port.
 
Who owns /dev/ttyS0 and what permissions does it have? IOW, does the
user where you're running the application have read and write access to
the serial port. Please show us what "ls -l /dev/ttyS[0-3]" shows. 

What Linux distro are you using? If its an access permission problem,
the information here may help:

If you're comfortable adding UDEV rules that explains how to do it. If
not, add the chmod command to /etc/rc.d/rc.local or wherever your distro
puts local commands to be run at the end if the boot sequence.

You can set them with the stty command.
