compiling fglrx (ATI Drivers) on Topologi Linux.

[templest]

Alright, so I grabbed the rpm, used alien, and unpacked it from the root directory. All files are in place, I go to compile the stuff required to use hardware acceleration and WHAM...

ATI module generator V 2.0
==========================
initializing...
kernel includes at /lib/modules/2.4.22/build/include not found or incomplete
file: /lib/modules/2.4.22/build/include/linux/version.h


On slackware 9.1 this gave me no errors, and isn't topologi linux built off of slackware? what's going on here?

Anyone know how to fix it? :)

I checked, apperantly the file "version.h" isn't where it should be, actually, not anywhere as far as I can see. :'(

I did some reading and apperantly this file is generated when compiling the kernel, am I right?

So these are the options as I see it:

1) The kernel I installed is bare.i, coincidentaly the same default one slackware has in it, ;), which leads me to believe that if I uninstall these sources and install the actual slackware sources for the bare.i 2.4.22 kernel, it'll work, since it worked with it on regular slack.

2) Build my own kernel for this mofo'

Are there any other suggestions? Or will #1 or #2 work? :confused:

heh, option 1 fixed it. I guess there's a bug in the Topologilinux CD, or maybe just my burnt copy. I'll make sure to MDSum every big file I'm about to burn from now on. :rolleyes:

If anyone ever has this issue and is looking for solutions, look for "kernel-source-2.4.22-noarch-3" in google and find the copy from a Slackware 9.1 mirror. Remove the sources already installed first, and then install the ones you downloaded. :cool:
