Problems installing ATI drivers on Red Hat 9 < HELP >


Hello,
i've got a Radeon 9800 Pro, and I'm trying to install his ATI drivers on my Red Hat 9.
When i run the .rpm i get this error:

########################################### [100%]
########################################### [100%]
*** Trying to install a precompiled kernel module.
*** WARNING ***
Tailored kernel module for fglrx not present in your system.
You must go to /lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod subdir
and execute './make.sh' to build a fully customed kernel module.
Afterwards go to /lib/modules/fglrx and run './make_install.sh'
in order to install the module into your kernel's module repository.
(see readme.txt for more details.)

As of now you can still run your XServer in 2D, but hardware acclerated
OpenGL will not work and 2D graphics will lack performance.

failed.
*** Error: no kernel module build environment - please consult readme.
Installed: qt3 (gcc 3.2) based control panel application
===
ATI display drivers successfully installed
please run 'fglrxconfig' now

Does anyone had the same problem or know how to resolve it ?

Thanks in advance,
Tribal.

install your kernel source.. it is in the "add/remove programs" thing under kernel development.. then run that install again

Exactly the same problem, but on a different distro. I also am running RH9 and yet to try this fix in the thread above at home, so let us know how you go.

Cheers

Cyber
