Where to find SoftwareSerial.h library for arduino?

Question

I include SoftwareSerial.h in my code. But when I compile the code, following error occurs:

GPS_TEST_3.ino:2:28: fatal error: SoftwareSerial.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
Error compiling

Any idea on this? Where the header file is located?

Answer 1

In my desktop its at Program Files (x86)\Arduino\hardware\arduino\avr\libraries\SoftwareSerial\src while other libraries like sdcard eeprom reside at Program Files (x86)\Arduino\libraries

Answer 2

How did you install the arduino compiler? This is a standard library that is part of the install.

You could try looking in your /libraries subfolder of the main arduino folder. the file should be in there. Is it?
