Hi,

I have been having a ton of grief with my fglrx driver and the fact that
it requires libstdc++5, so I was quite excited to see that a new driver is
available. However, when I try to run their installer to build a debian
package:

sh ./ati-driver-installer-8.42.3-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg Debian/etch

I get the following error:
cp: cannot stat `./usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri': No such file or directory

I am running a 64bit linux with an ati radeon HD2600 graphics card. Any
idea what this is about and what I could do to get around it?

Regards,
Kaloyan

In case it is interesting below is the output of the
installer before it spits the error message:

Created directory fglrx-install.U20629

On lenny I have setup the directory /usr/X11R6/lib/modules and a link in
it to /usr/lib/dri:

mkdir -p /usr/X11R6/lib/modules
ln -s ../../../lib/dri /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/
