[SOLVED] Missing Kernel Headers for Catalyst

Hello Everyone,

I am a new Arch guy! I am from the ubuntu world.  Love the new arch install, I have installed my own DE.

I use a Radeon HD 68xx so I need the catalyst drivers.

I have tried installing them via: sudo pacman -S catalyst-dkms catalyst-utils    (per the wiki)

It gets to the end and gives me this message:

DKMS: add completed.
Error! echo
Your kernel headers for kernel 3.6.2-1-ARCH cannot be found at
/usr/lib/modules/3.6.2-1-ARCH/build or /usr/lib/modules/3.6.2-1-ARCH/source.
error: command failed to execute correctly

Can anybody assist on how I get the kernel headers?  As far as I understood, they should be included in Arch.

Re: [SOLVED] Missing Kernel Headers for Catalyst

do this:

sudo pacman -Sy linux-headers

The headers are in the main repository, but they are not included with the kernel by default.

Re: [SOLVED] Missing Kernel Headers for Catalyst

do this:

sudo pacman -Sy linux-headers

Don't use 'pacman -Sy foo' - it may lead to breakage https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=89328
