    But, I can't build package.
    Please, somebody help me.
    Thanks.

    I guess you should install rpmbuild and the kernel source to build packages.

        know what you mean!
        tried for 2 hours to get it to install and then almost threw out my laptop!

        Michael said something about '64 bit issues', well you can say that again!!! the packaging scripts for 64 bit suck! both for Fedora and Ubuntu appearently

          Solve the problem with fedora x86_64

          This problem is maybe not copy library of 32bits.
          Michael fixed under Ubuntu and Debin, not included Fedora.
          So, I edited ati-packger.sh file.

          Code:
          # Merge files from different source directories
            TMP_RPM_BUILD_DIR=${TMP_DRV_FILES_DIR}/BUILD/ATI-fglrx-${drv_version}
          
            mkdir -p ${TMP_RPM_BUILD_DIR}
            cp -pR ${INSTALLER_ROOT_DIR}/common/* ${TMP_RPM_BUILD_DIR}
            cp -pR ${INSTALLER_ROOT_DIR}/arch/${ARCH_DIR}/* ${TMP_RPM_BUILD_DIR}
            cp -pR ${INSTALLER_ROOT_DIR}/${X11_RELEASE}/* ${TMP_RPM_BUILD_DIR}
          
            [COLOR="Red"]if [ "${release_arch}" = 'x86_64' ]; then
              cp -pR ${INSTALLER_ROOT_DIR}/arch/x86/usr/X11R6/lib \
                     ${TMP_RPM_BUILD_DIR}/usr/X11R6/

            if echo "${X11_RELEASE}"|grep "x7.0" &> /dev/null ; then
              mv ${TMP_RPM_BUILD_DIR}/usr/X11R6/include/X11 \

          Now, I correctly build package and install new driver.
          I'm so happpy.
          Code:
          display: :0.0  screen: 0
          OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.
          OpenGL renderer string: ATI RADEON 9600 Series
          OpenGL version string: 2.0.6958 Release

            I stumbled upon this thread when I had the problem. I didn't know how to apply the patch to the script, so I posted a new thread where mikeuw helped me.

            Refer to

            if you too are stuck. It DOES work!!

              script

              1st, you extracted ATI driver for linux.
              Code:
              ./ati-driver-installer-8.42.3-x86.x86_64.run --extract fglrx_8_42
              2nd, you download new script file (ati-packager.sh).

              3th, you copy new script file to old script.
              Code:
              cp new_script_file.sh fglrx_8_42/packages/Fedora/ati-packager.sh
              4th, you build package.
              Code:
              cd fglrx_8_42
              ./ati-installer.sh 8.42.3 --buildpkg Fedora/F7
              5th, you install package.
              Code:
              cd ..
              rpm -ivh ATI-fglrx-8.42.3-1.f7.x86_64 ATI-fglrx-IA32-libs-8.42.3-1.f7.x86_64 ATI-fglrx-control-center-8.42.3-1.f7.x86_64 kernel-module-ATI-fglrx-*
              last, you just reboot.
