Building the SDK 4.1 /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lcuda

Accelerated Computing CUDA CUDA Programming and Performance

I can build the first few code samples, but it dies when I get to deviceQuery.
As far as I can tell, there is a cuda library missing. True?
I’m not finding any libcuda.so file. Should there be one?
Do I need to build it, or should it have been installed?

Could someone give me some guidance?

The details:

The last line of the make file is generating the error:

Add source files here

Are the warnings in this of any concern?
