Bug Description

I followed the instructions on this site :
http://www.techlw.com/2012/08/install-amd-catalyst-128-drivers-in.html
When the window pops up for installing the catalyst, I choose to 'Generate distribution specific driver package'.
After this was done, I did
 dpkg -i *.deb
And this failed...
Her the log '/var/lib/dkms/fglrx/8.982/build/make.log'
