Public bug reported:
Hope it helps someway. Maybe others can have more success
with these steps. I've had three different errors/cases
for the same overall problem of trying different
ways to install fglrx. Two are listed in the outline.

Outline of Steps Taken
-----------------------
I. Prep
A. Download: amd-driver-installer-catalyst-13.1-legacy-linux-x86.x86_64.zip
B. $ cd ~/Download
C. Unzip.
D. $ sudo amd-driver-installer-catalyst-13.1-legacy-linux-x86.x86_64.run
--buildpkg Ubuntu/raring
II. Test Install of FGLRX
A. $ sudo dpkg -i *.deb
B. It failed for me. Needed kernel source to compile dkms stuff. Module(s)
not built.
C. Purge all fglrx drivers: $ sudo apt-get remove --purge fglrx fglrx_*
fglrx-amdcccle* fglrx-dev*
III. Install Kernel Source (Ubuntu way)
A. $ sudo apt-get source linux-image-`uname -r`
B. $ sudo apt-get build-dep linux-image-$(uname -r)
C. $ cd /usr/src/
D. Uncompress.
E. cd linux-3.8.0
F. $ fakeroot debian/rules clean
G. $ fakeroot debian/rules binary-headers binary-generic
H. cd ..
I. $ sudo dpkg -i linux*.deb
J. Reboot.
IV. Try Install of FGLRX Again
A. $ cd ~/Download
B. $ sudo dpkg -i *.deb
C. It fails to compile modules.
D. Try manual build of dkms: dkms build -m fglrx/8.970
E. $ cat /var/lib/dkms/fglrx/8.970/build/make.log
