I need to install AMD drivers in my Ubuntu 12.10.
I followed What is the correct way to install proprietary ATI Catalyst Video Drivers (fglrx) directly from AMD? (and I installed all dependencies from 12.04 guide)
Here is my logs:
Check if system has the tools required for installation.
Uninstalling any previously installed drivers.
Creating symlink /var/lib/dkms/fglrx/8.98/source ->
/usr/src/fglrx-8.98
DKMS: add completed.
Kernel preparation unnecessary for this kernel. Skipping...
Building module:
cleaning build area....
cd /var/lib/dkms/fglrx/8.98/build; sh make.sh --nohints --uname_r=3.5.0-17-generic --norootcheck.....(bad exit status: 1)
[Error] Kernel Module : Failed to build fglrx-8.98 with DKMS
[Error] Kernel Module : Removing fglrx-8.98 from DKMS
------------------------------
Deleting module version: 8.98
completely from the DKMS tree.
------------------------------
Done.
[Reboot] Kernel Module : update-initramfs
Any ideas what im missing?

You should have
linux-headers
installed for every kernel version you have installed (and can see ingrub-advanced
menu while booting). Although check that you havebuild-essential
package and thatgcc -v
runs well.Finally, it can be an error in this package, for example it can disagree with gcc version and settings.
