Installing ati catalyst problem

Hello, I am trying to install catalyst for my ati radeon r7. I have encountered two problems.

1. The version.h was missing from /lib/modules/4.1.3-1-ARCH/build/include/linux so I read somewhere that I can do a soft link from /usr/include/linux/version.h

I did step 1, putting ln -s from that location to the specific build location and the installation moved on.. but during installation I got errors, and this is the log:

Supported adapter detected.
Check if system has the tools required for installation.
Uninstalling any previously installed drivers.

I assume it's something with the link I created.. hmm. Any idea?

Re: Installing ati catalyst problem

I downloaded it from the ati page. But I am currently using xf86-ati-video driver. That one works ok...

Re: Installing ati catalyst problem

Should always use the Arch package repo / AUR following the guides on the Arch wikis
