Linux – Missing linux headers during ATI driver installation

fglrxkernellinux

I've updated the kernel on my Linux Mint following this tutorial. But now, when I try to install the latest fglrx, I'm getting this error:

Check if system has the tools required for installation.
fglrx installation requires that the system have kernel headers. /lib/modules/3.5.0-030500-generic/build/include/linux/version.h cannot be found on this system.
One or more tools required for installation cannot be found on the system. Install the required tools before installing the fglrx driver.
Optionally, run the installer with –force option to install without the tools.
Forcing install will disable AMD hardware acceleration and may make your system unstable. Not recommended.

I tried to run sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r), but it says it's already the latest version. Any help?

Best Answer

Rather than an answer, I will give you some questions :). Are you sure that you have booted into your new kernel? What is the output of uname -a? What are the contents of /lib/modules/ ?

My guess is that you have simply not loaded your new kernel.
