[Pkg-fglrx-devel] Bug#597478: fglrx-modules-dkms: fails to build kernel module on amd64

[Sean Kellogg]

I still have a FTBFS problem with this update.

When doing the dkms thing with the new package it first reported:
----------------
Error! Your kernel headers for kernel amd64 cannot be found at
/lib/modules/amd64/build or /lib/modules/amd64/source.
----------------

So, I decided to see what would happen if I created a symlink:
/lib/modules/amd64/ -> /lib/modules/2.6.32-5-amd64

Which got past the first error and brought me to...
----------------
Building module:
cleaning build area....
make KERNELRELEASE=amd64 -C /lib/modules/amd64/build M=/var/lib/dkms/fglrx/10-9/build....(bad exit status: 2)

Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: amd64 (x86_64)
Consult the make.log in the build directory
/var/lib/dkms/fglrx/10-9/build/ for more information.

0

Error! Could not locate fglrx.ko for module fglrx in the DKMS tree.
----------------

The contents of the log make.log file:

----------------

-------------------

Which sure seems like the same error as before. I checked with dpkg and it says I have the 1:10-9-2 package installed.
