after downloading the amd-driver-installer-15.20.1046-x86.x86_64.run from the amd site
i delete old versions before installation process
according to this post ati-driver-re-install-fail
after i enter this command sudo ./amd-driver-installer-15.20.1046-x86.x86_64.run
i got an error message :
''Please install the required prerequisites before proceeding with AMD Catalyst installation.''
screenshot to the error
when i enter to the log file i get :
NOTE: If your system has logged the missing packages required for
installation, install them in the order as per the log file to resolve
package-dependency issues.
fglrx installation requires that the
system has kernel headers.
/lib/modules/4.2.0-18-generic/build/include/linux/version.h cannot be
found on this system.
how can i solve this problem [version.h cannot be found on this system] ?
Install kernel headers using the command apt-get install
linux-headers-4.2.0-18-generic.
already i have the newest
version of linux-headers-4.2.0-18-generic
Can any one tell me what is the prerequisites needed to start the installation process?
Best Answer
You have all the prerequisites installed already the problem is that in newer versions of the kernel the version.h file has been relocated. You can locate it with
Which most likely will come up with this location for your version.h file for that version of the kernel "/usr/src/linux-headers-4.2.0-18-generic/include/generated/uapi/linux/version.h". But since we already know which kernel version and what distro you are using all you have to do is link the missing file to the folder and start the installation again.
That should work. Unless AMD is still not supporting that version of the kernel.
