    Now to the process

    Insatalled of USB DVD and a fresh burn of Zod

    After install loged on

    Opened Firefox... downloaded ATI Driver

    Then in terminal did
    yum install kernel-devel
    yum install kernel-headers
    yum install qt-devel
    Then in terminal did
    Code:
     
    cd /root/Desktop
    sh ./ati-driver-installer-8.31.5-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg Fedora/FC6
    Below is output.

    [root@ss1 Desktop]# sh ./ati-driver-installer-8.31.5-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg Fedora/FC6
    Creating directory fglrx-install
    Verifying archive integrity... All good.

    Generating package: Fedora/FC6
    Please install an appropriate Linux kernel module build package.
    Probably kernel-devel in this case.
    If you've compiled a custom kernel, make sure /usr/src/linux exists
    and the source tree matches the currently running kernel.
    Removing temporary directory: fglrx-install
    I have ready the Forums over and over and page by page...

    I can't figure out what i been doing wrong.

    I have used Linux Red Hat & RHES for about 7 years now so i know my way around the box but this is really my first time with X ... i have always used SSH / terminal till now.

    Hmmm... One thought for what the problem is. Had you updated your kernel? You installed kernel-devel and kernel-headers, and so it likely installed the latest kernel version available in the official Core repository, but the kernel itself may still be on the stock version... So basically is your kernel and kernel-devel/kernel-headers the same version? If not, make sure they're all updated on the same version and then give it another try.

        I cna re-format box if you think there is a specific sequence of events i should follow to get success on this compile.

          Hmmm do you have both i686 and x86_64 kernel-devel packages installed?

              Oops, I must have looked it over too quick. Sorry about that, since you're running 32-bit Linux you can't install the 64-bit devel package. Is there anything in /lib/modules/2.6.18-1.2849.fc6 ?

                  Hmmm you could try reinstalling and make sure you got all the development tools and libraries. I haven't run into this issue after having all the proper packages installed.
