Hello Tracy,
Here are my compiling steps for Centos6 and they might point out an issue in your PythonSerial (not PySerial) setup:

I've had chirp running previously but that was a couple of years ago and I think I had CentOS 6 then. When I download the latest version OR run the version from the epel repo I get the following error:
$ chirpw Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/chirpw", line 24, in <module> from chirp.drivers import * File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/chirp/drivers/idrp.py", line 16, in <module> import serial File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/serial-0.0.97-py2.7.egg/serial/__init__.py", line 10, in <module> from . import utilities, abc, model, marshal, errors, properties, meta, hooks, test, request File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/serial-0.0.97-py2.7.egg/serial/model.py", line 1291 exec(source, namespace) SyntaxError: unqualified exec is not allowed in function 'from_meta' it contains a nested function with free variables
I'm running the python 2.7.5 which came with CentOS 7.
I've googled this and can't find anything related to chirp. There are some who claim it's a python bug but that seems unlikely as this is a very well used and tested version of python. Any ideas?
I'm looking forward to getting my FT-60 which somehow lost all of its memory reloaded with my repeaters.
Thanks!
