SoftwareSerial.h not found

[OwenBrotherwood]

Trying to use a sketch with SoftwareSerial.h: but get a:
C:\Users\owen\Desktop\rn\rn.ino:17:28: fatal error: SoftwareSerial.h: No such file or directory
The same sketch can be compiled if the board is an Uno.

Anything I can try to get further with this problem?

Sorry, but soft serial ports are not currently support on the nRF chips.

#98 is open to track the request for a SoftwareSerial lib.
