9 years ago I'm using SWIG 2.0.10 and managed to solve this problem by adding -I/usr/include/sys in prepare.sh.

Thanks for a great string retrieval package! Been using it with C++ and am setting it up to work with Python.
However, I was unable to build simstring for use with Python using Swig 2.04. My problem relates to the following issues, which were described in the Swig CHANGE doc for version 2.05:
2012-03-20: wsfulton Fix #3487706 and #3391906 - missing stddef.h include for ptrdiff_t when using %import for STL containers and compiling with g++-4.6. An include of stddef.h is now only generated when SWIG generates STL helper templates which require ptrdiff_t. If you were previously relying on "#include" always being generated when using a
%include of an STL header, you may now need to add this in manually.
I was able to build simstring with Swig using the method recommended above: specifically, manually placing a "#include" in the "export_wrap.cpp" file. I don't know Swig well enough to propose a patch which would generate this automatically.
Thanks again.
