Your error is in building the cuda version of cpptraj, and you would
have to also modify the config.h in $AMBERHOME/AmberTools/src/cpptraj.

However, since you want pmemd.cuda, cd to $AMBERHOME/src/pmemd, and type

   make cuda_serial

That will pick up your modified config.h info, and might get one step
closer to resolution.
