You have to install the AMD APP comes with the driver installer itself.
Installing individual sdk stream 2.3 gave me problem.
Since you didn't said which OS, u using,

http://www2.ati.com/drivers/11-2_vista32_win7_32_dd_ccc_ocl.exe    if 32 bit windows
http://www2.ati.com/drivers/11-2_vista32_win7_64_dd_ccc_ocl.exe    if 64 bit windows
http://www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/ati-driver-installer-11-2-x86.x86_64.run    for both linux 32 & 64 bit

Just install any one of this file according to OS & it has everything atleast for windows.
