package fglrx (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: subprocess new pre-installation script returned error exit status 1

I am using Dell 1558 Studio with ATI 5470 HD Radeon graphics card. I tried to install ATI proprietary driver and even tried to compile with sources but I was unsuccessful to install it. Though the same sources has been compiled successfully on Debian Linux. Please advise as soon as possible.

I have resolved the issue of fglrx-installer for my graphics driver by Downloading a new ATI driver from AMD site ,its called ati-driver-installer-10-6-x86.x86_64.run . Just install this package it works fine with ubuntu but we have to compile sources for fglrx-installer for Debian 5 .

Thank you
