Comment 2 for bug 642557

I have the same issue. Doing the makefile by hand give the reports.
In my case, I installed the 10.8 catalyst driver before. It didn't cause any trouble
Due to some display troubles I installed catalyst 10.9 without problem either and all my previous troubles were fixed.
I noticed that the catalyst control center panel was still showing "Catalyst 10.8" instead of the new driver one
So I deinstalled all, reboot and reinstall 10.9 again but, this time, with the error described here.
Beetwen the driver 10.8 and driver 10.9 installations, there was a kernel change (2.6.32-24-generic #43-Ubuntu SMP Thu Sep 16 14:58:24 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux).

here are the errors I've got :
