As someone already metntioned, SWIG builds the C wrapper code, but you 
still have to compile that code like any other extension. I've found it 
easiest to use distutils to compile my extensions. see:

http://www.python.org/doc/current/ext/building.html#building

for how to do it.

That may not solve your problem, as your missing headers are system 
ones, not Python ones, but it's may make the rest of your project easier.
