Same thing happens to me, even when I try to run directly:

root@Igor-pc:/media/35863fc5-1043-49aa-af4d-aff9e2a278cb/igor/Downloads# dkms build -m fglrx -v 8.593 -k 2.6.32-24-generic

Kernel preparation unnecessary for this kernel. Skipping...

Building module:
cleaning build area....
pushd /var/lib/dkms/fglrx/8.593/build; sh make.sh --nohints --uname_r=2.6.32-24-generic; popd....

Error! Build of fglrx.ko failed for: 2.6.32-24-generic (x86_64)
Consult the make.log in the build directory
/var/lib/dkms/fglrx/8.593/build/ for more information.

Here are the contents of make.log:

So... basically, It tells me absolutely nothing.

You're trying to install our Legacy driver on a current OS. That's not going to work. The last Ubuntu version supported by the legacy driver was Ubuntu 8.10.

Your RS690 (Radeon X1200) is not supported by the current proprietary driver. So your only option on current Ubuntu versions is the open source driver. In my experience it works well on RS690 including desktop effects.

I recommend you uninstall the proprietary fglrx driver.
