SoftwareSerial uses Pin Change Interrupts, and as a result it is indeed in
direct conflict with this library.
The only way to make them compatible would be to do something like this:
* Figure out which port(s) you want to use for Software Serial.
* Figure out which port(s) you want to use for Pin Change Interrupts.
Set up the #defines in Pin Change Interrupts so as to shut off the Software
Serial ports: #define NO_PORTx_PINCHANGES
Copy the SoftwareSerial library to your personal libraries folder; call it
mySoftwareSerial or something like this. Do a global namechange from
SoftwareSerial to mySoftwareSerial.
Delete the appropriate ISR in mySoftwareSerial. For example, if you knew you
weren't going to use PORTD for SoftwareSerial, you would delete:
#if defined(PCINT2_vect)
ISR(PCINT2_vect)
{
SoftwareSerial::handle_interrupt();
}
#endif
and so on.
So this is a limitation, not a bug.

I have tried to implement this by adding ...
1)#define NO_PORTD_PINCHANGES (in my sketch)
2)and deleting:
#if defined(PCINT2_vect)
ISR(PCINT2_vect)
{
SoftwareSerial::handle_interrupt();
}
#endif
I did not decide to rename the SoftwareSerial library contents as i do not know
how to do a global namechange. I need two serial ports and 5 external
interrupts, can you please advise me on what to do?

Yes, you have to change the name of the .h file, the .cpp file, put them in
your directory alongside your sketch, and #include it under the new name. Then
it should work.
