[solved] catalyst: Building fglrx module for 3.0-ARCH failing

I'm running Arch on my laptop since some time now.
Lately I've done some updates and encountered a problem with my ati (catalyst driver).

Everytime the auto-build module tries to compile, I'm getting an error:

$  sudo catalyst_build_module allg                                                                                          
Building fglrx module for 3.0-ARCH kernel ...                                                                                               
Failed!!! Check out log: /var/log/catalyst-install.log  

this is what gets logged:

--------
2011-08-29 15:52:07
Building fglrx module for 3.0-ARCH kernel ...
--------
Kernel header files are absent: directory /lib/modules/3.0-ARCH/build doesn't exist! Game over

I checked it and that build directory is obviously really missing.

I appreciate any help from you guys, since it's really odd to work on this laptop without the correct graphics drivers..

this is my video card:

#  lspci -v | grep "VGA"                                                                                
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Redwood [Radeon HD 5600 Series] (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])

please let me know if you need more information and thanks in advance for your help!
