package fglrx 2:8.723.1-0ubuntu5 failed to install/upgrade: fglrx kernel module failed to build

[Aymeric Peyret]

Whether trying ATI-provided package or Ubuntu-provided package, the package never installs properly. During the process, I always get "module build for the currently running kernel was skipped since the kernel source for this kernel does not seem to be installed" (why does not it at least say which file is missing?...)

Ubuntu Release: 10.04

apt-cache policy fglrx result:
fglrx:

Please do not hesitate to contact me for more information, but be aware that I am not proficient with Linux..
