Verify if you have a /dev/nvidia0. If you do not, you may need to restart your X.

As I had the same problem, the only solution that worked for me was to reinstall the driver. Notice that the driver is not included in the SDK.

I don't see the error where it says you have no CUDA devices.

In answer to your second question:

GeForce GTS 250 supports CUDA 1.1 not 2.0. You need to edit the compilation flags to replace compute_20 with compute_11.

You said you didn't know what to edit. We're going to need more information in order to help. It's unlikely you'll find someone with an identical setup who can reproduce this, so you're going to need to provide more detail. – Ade Miller Apr 03 '11 at 16:36
