I don't know what CUDA is, but if you made a custom filetype, I don't 
know if Geany will still know how to parse this.  Generally, something 
along the lines of this should work for C++ headers:

`geany -P -g ~/.config/geany/tags/gpusph-1.0.cpp.tags 
~/simple_sph3d/src/*.h'

If you just used `./configure' (no options), Geany will be configured to 
use /usr/local as the prefix.  If you then just run the Geany binary 
from the source directory (without running `make install'), I think it 
will give errors like this since you told it (or it defaulted) that the 
prefix is /usr/local and it will try to find it's files there.

I've attached the 'gpusph-1.0.cpp.tags' file I generated from the source 
code here[1] using the above command.  Hopefully that helps.
