Chris,
This is why we no longer actively support CUDA development in freesurfer and instead have focused on openmp to reduce overall runtime. The complexity of the CUDA programming coupled with the required libraries/driver matching of various builds with various OSes is simply beyond the resources we have to devote to the task. As you know, we currently build against CUDA 5.0, and if your OS supports it, you can run the more computationally intensive tasks (mri_ca_register, etc) using CUDA.
Beyond that you are free to attempt a build of the freesurfer source code against the CUDA 5.5 on your Ubuntu system. I can assist with that task by providing the other 3rd party libraries as well as general insight, but beyond that we simply do not have the resources to devout to that task.

Guys,
Would it be possible to get Freesurfer 5.3.0 built with CUDA 5.5? The newest Ubuntu does not have support for 5.0.
Thanks in advance,
Chris Adamson.
