hi list i noticed there may be a similar thread about fc2 but here goes
anyway.

i am trying to install the drivers for my ati mobility radeon 9700 card

I get the following:

[root@localhost spoony]# rpm -Uh --force fglrx_6_8_0-8.8.25-1.i386.rpm
########################################### [100%]
########################################### [100%]
*** Trying to install a precompiled kernel module.
*** WARNING ***
Tailored kernel module for fglrx not present in your system.
You must go to /lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod subdir
and execute './make.sh' to build a fully customed kernel module.
Afterwards go to /lib/modules/fglrx and run './make_install.sh'
in order to install the module into your kernel's module repository.
(see readme.txt for more details.)


I tried this:

[root@localhost /]# cd lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod subdir
[root@localhost build_mod]# ./make.sh
bash: ./make.sh: Permission denied

I am still very new to all this but I am guessing I need the Kernel source.

But I cant find it

Can anyone point me in the right direction or warn me if I am baout to
make a major mistake please.

Thanks

Dominic
