14.04 - AMD legacy driver installation failed due to missing kernel headers

I am trying to install amd-driver-installer-catalyst-13.1-legacy-linux-x86.x86_64 on Ubuntu 14.04, and failing due missing /lib/modules/3.13.0-37-generic/build/include/linux/version.h. I tried to install driver forcefully with no success.


The error in /usr/share/ati/fglrx-install.log is:



Check if system has the tools required for installation. fglrx
installation requires that the system have kernel headers.
/lib/modules/3.13.0-37-generic/build/include/linux/version.h cannot be
found on this system. fglrx installation is being forced. Installation
will proceed without the required tools on the system. Uninstalling
any previously installed drivers.

/usr/src/fglrx-8.97.100.7
