Seems something is wrong with the string.h library.
Try to create a small C program to see if the command

#include <string.h>

works.

eg.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

main(int argc, const char*const* argv) {
if ((argc>1)&&strcmp(argv[1],"Hello")==0) printf ("OK\n");
}

should print OK, if you compile it and execute ./a.out Hello

If it works, check the #include lines on the mentioned files and make sure
they write

#include <string.h>
and NOT
#include "string.h"

Otherwise check why your C compiler doesn't work.
