I had this problem too, but I created /usr/lib64/ directory and copied the /usr/lib/fglrx/ in it. But now I have a different probem, Xserver will not start. Here is Xorg.0.log:

I confirm, this bug affects me. I tried to copy /usr/lib/fglrx into usr/lib64 but after aticonfig --intial -f I got the error about wrong permissions for this new folder. Something like there has to be no write permissions for group and others. I tried to disable such access, but it did not help. Still getting the same error about permissions.

Please help us.
