12.10 - DKMS error when installing amd drivers

I need to install AMD drivers in my Ubuntu 12.10.



I followed What is the correct way to install proprietary ATI Catalyst Video Drivers (fglrx) directly from AMD? (and I installed all dependencies from 12.04 guide)



Here is my logs:




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

/usr/src/fglrx-8.98

DKMS: add completed.

cd /var/lib/dkms/fglrx/8.98/build; sh make.sh --nohints --uname_r=3.5.0-17-generic --norootcheck.....(bad exit status: 1)
[Error] Kernel Module : Failed to build fglrx-8.98 with DKMS
[Error] Kernel Module : Removing fglrx-8.98 from DKMS

------------------------------
Deleting module version: 8.98
completely from the DKMS tree.

Done.
[Reboot] Kernel Module : update-initramfs


Any ideas what im missing?
