cp: cannot stat error: No such file or directory - build

Question

I was trying to build the Rodinia benchmark suite on my Ubuntu 12.04 Server.
I had already installed the cuda 4.0 in the /usr/local/cuda directory. I have already build the SDk samples.
On running make command to build the Rodinia benchmark suite I was getting the following errors
~/Downloads/rodinia_2.4$ make
cd cuda/cfd; make; cp euler3d euler3d_double pre_euler3d pre_euler3d_double /home/ncclab/Downloads/rodinia_2.4/bin/linux/cuda
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/ncclab/Downloads/rodinia_2.4/cuda/cfd'

euler3d.cu:5: fatal error: helper_cuda.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
make[1]: *** [euler3d] Error 1

cp: cannot stat `pre_euler3d': No such file or directory
cp: cannot stat `pre_euler3d_double': No such file or directory
make: *** [CUDA] Error 1
But looking into the cfd directory
ncclab#slave13:~/Downloads/rodinia_2.4$ cd cuda/cfd/ls
**euler3d.cu euler3d_double.cu Makefile Makefile_nvidia pre_euler3d.cu pre_euler3d_double.cu** README run
This is also the case with some other benchmark
cd cuda/srad/srad_v2; make; cp srad /home/ncclab/Downloads/rodinia_2.4/bin/linux/cuda/srad_v2
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/ncclab/Downloads/rodinia_2.4/cuda/srad/srad_v2'
/usr/local/cuda/bin/nvcc srad.cu -o srad -I/usr/local/cuda/include -L/usr/local/cuda/lib64
srad.cu:6: fatal error: srad.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
make[1]: *** [release] Error 1

Makefile Makefile_nvidia README run srad.cu srad.h srad_kernel.cu
It clearly states the files are present in the directory. I can't understand why this error is occurring. Searching here and on google can't help me to find the cause. Can someone please help me.
What is the file helper_cuda.h contains. I cannot find it. Is it something that comes with gpu computing sdk samples. If so I was not having them. Is there any problem in its installation
Thanks in advance

Update to the latest version of CUDA (currently 5.5). You'll find the helper_*.h files in the $CUDA_PATH/samples/common/inc directory.
There version of CUDA that you have installed (CUDA 4.0) is quite old now, and the examples provided with 4.0 used a different set of helper functions in a library called cutil.
