Installing AMD drivers

Hi.
Long story short: Dual monitors, latest Fedora.
Trying to install AMD fglrx-drivers.

Log outputs

GCC is installed, CCC gets installed but I can't run it in administrative mode, which means I can't do any changes.
Any help is wanted.
Thank you,

Welcome to LQ

At first look, it's trying to build a 2.6.x module in a 3.4.x kernel, which is brave, but not guaranteed of success. Error 2 is file not found, IIRC. It's probably missed a header file.

I would load the standard config and make with commands like

Quote:

cd /usr/src/kernels/3.4.4-5.fc17.x86_64
cp /boot/config-3.4.4-5.fc17.x86_64 .config
make clean; make

and then try your install.
