cuda 6.5 installation in ubuntu 14.04LTS

Question

I recently upgrade the ubuntu and nvidia driver is not working anymore, and I am trying to re-install nvidia driver and cuda. Here is what I did

sudo apt-get remove --purge nvidia*
sudo /usr/local/cuda-6.5/bin/uninstall_cuda_6.5.pl

sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r`
sudo ./cuda_6.5.14_linux_64.run --kernel-source-path=/usr/src/linux-headers-`uname -r`/

However, it always gave me this error message:

I tried reboot but it does not work. The header is linux-headers-3.16.0-40-generic.

I looked at /var/log/nvidia-installer.log, the error is:

However, the include/geenrated/autoconf.h and include/config/auto.conf is existed in /usr/src/linux-headers-3.16.0-40-generic directory.

Any suggestions?
