... why these crucial development files aren't present ?

Storage space, money. Very few people would use a package.
Most may prefer the latest source / installer from Nvidia. ?
( 12 nvcc threads only at LQ.)
Mandriva supplies nvcc : nvidia-cuda-toolkit-devel.
All other Linux OS : No nvcc , AFAIK.
The package is very easy to build on PCLinuxOS (2010) :
ftp://ftp.sunet.se/pub/Linux/distrib...0.17-1.src.rpm
> nvidia-cuda-toolkit-4.0.17-1.src.rpm : 331 MB.
The SRC RPM is actually two installers (One 32bit, one 64bit), 4 files total.
$ rpmbuild -bb nvidia-cuda-toolkit.spec
3 packages are created : ( Total 221 MB )
nvidia-cuda-toolkit-4.0.17-1pclos2010.i586.rpm
nvidia-cuda-toolkit-devel-4.0.17-1pclos2010.i586.rpm
nvidia-compute-profiler-4.0.17-1pclos2010.i586.rpm
