helpers.h not found

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I'm having trouble building cgal-bindings on Ubuntu 12.04, using the latest 
source because "helpers.h" is not being found:

1. CGAL installation:
sudo apt-get install  libcgal-dev

2. cgal-bindings installation:
git clone https://code.google.com/p/cgal-bindings
mkdir build/CGAL-3.9_release -p

cd ~/rps/cgal-bindings/build/CGAL-3.9_release 

cmake -DCGAL_DIR=/usr/lib/CGAL -DJAVA_OUTDIR_PREFIX=../../examples/java 
-DPYTHON_OUTDIR_PREFIX=../../examples/python ../..

It appears that "helpers.h" is not included in the CGAL 3.9 distribution 
installed using "sudo apt-get install libcgal-dev"   There are lots of 
subdirectories under /usr/include/CGAL, but "export" is not one of them.  And a 
search in /usr/include/CGAL for "helpers.h" comes back empty.

I am in the process of fixing Windows visibility and my changes seem to need 
CGAL-4.0.
A solution is to use that revision e77c16bd5a65 if you want to stick to 3.9
