Hammer not compiling maps

Garry's Mod mapping
#1

My problem is that whenever I try to compile a Gmod map in hammer I get this:

Could not find lights.rad in lights.rad.
Trying VRAD BIN directory instead…
[Reading texlights from ‘e:\program files (x86)\steam\steamapps\benj551\sourcesdk\bin\orangebox\bin\lights.rad’]
[45 texlights parsed from ‘e:\program files (x86)\steam\steamapps\benj551\sourcesdk\bin\orangebox\bin\lights.rad’]

After that theres is no bsp and so no map
I can post the whole compile log if it will help I also tried used some online compile log checker and it said vrad bin is missing but didn’t say how to fix it
How do I fix this or am I doomed to not map.
