[SOLVED] FGLRX recompile fails, kernel headers are absent

WishCow · 2011-11-09 13:28:56

The fglrx mkinitcpio hook fails with:

-> Parsing hook: [fglrx]
Building fglrx module for 3.0-ARCH kernel ...
Failed!!! Check out log: /var/log/catalyst-install.log

Looking into the log reveals:

--------
2011-11-09 14:12:08
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

The /lib/modules/3.0-ARCH/build directory indeed does not exist.

I have the linux-headers package installed, but pacman -Ql linux-headers says that it is installed to /usr/src/linux-3.1.0-4-ARCH/, and it places a symlink to /lib/modules/3.1.0-4-ARCH.

How can I tell the catalyst hook to look in /lib/modules/3.1.0-4-ARCH, instead of /lib/modules/3.0-ARCH?

Why make a new thread?

I wanted to close the old one, because this is more specific, but I just found out that I cannot close my own threads.

You can tell mkinitcpio to look at a different kernel in a number of ways. If the fglrx hook isn't obeying this, then its broken.

Could have just changed the title of it instead, and as said in the other thread, use the catalyst package instead of catalyst-hook

Installing catalyst package from AUR fails:

==> Applying patch(es) ...
patching file common/lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod/2.6.x/Makefile
Hunk #1 succeeded at 68 (offset 2 lines).
==> Compiling fglrx module ...
make: *** /lib/modules/3.0-ARCH/build: No such file or directory. Stop

Both of them are looking in /lib/modules/3.0-ARCH/, is this controlled by some kind of environment variable? Maybe my system is reporting the currently running kernel incorrectly?

I believe is because of this.

$ uname -r 
3.1.0-4-ck

It nows returns the full version of the kernel

I saw that on this thread: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=129936

WishCow · 2011-11-10 08:34:51

$ uname -r
3.0-ARCH

So this is probably why it looks under /lib/modules/3.0-ARCH.

What could cause this?

Mr.Elendig · 2011-11-10 14:23:53

Change the PKGBUILD to explicitly build against 3.1.0-4-ARCH ?

edit: Make sure you have the latest version of the PKGBUILD from aur

edit2: pacman -Q linux linux-headers

linux 3.0.7-1
linux-headers 3.1-4

...
I'm a moron.

This is why you should use -Syu foobar and not -Sy foobar.
